Creating and applying a patch

  Andrew Fletcher     published: 18 September 2023         1 minute read

I need to generate a patch and then apply automatically to my Drupal installation.

Current path to the file: web/core/modules/views/src/Plugin/views/argument/

Orignal filename: ArgumentPluginBase.php

Adjusted filename: ArgumentPluginBase-adjusted.php

 

Create a Patch

A patch is used to create or override changes in another file.  The command to create a patch is:

diff -u {original filename} {changed filename} > {patchfile}.patch
diff -u web/core/modules/views/src/Plugin/views/argument/ArgumentPluginBase.php web/core/modules/views/src/Plugin/views/argument/ArgumentPluginBase-adjusted.php > patches/argument-plugin-base-operator.patch
