TL;DR: git clone https://github.com/git/git # hack hack hack git commit git format-patch HEAD^ # use e.g. git send-email to send the patch to the mailing list Thanks, Stefan ``` ## René Genz, 2017-04-19 23:54 Subject: Re: minor typos in documentation Message-ID: <4f4e6b6e-7917-49c9-f4b4-627eaa062915@freenet.de> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/4f4e6b6e-7917-49c9-f4b4-627eaa062915%40freenet.de In-Reply-To: ``` On 19.04.2017 22:55, Stefan Beller wrote: ... > > Thanks for spotting the errors! > > Care to craft a patch and send it upstream yourself? > See https://github.com/git/git/blob/master/Documentation/SubmittingPatches > how to approach it. > TL;DR: > git clone https://github.com/git/git > # hack hack hack > git commit > git format-patch HEAD^ > # use e.g. git send-email to send the patch to the mailing list > > Thanks, > Stefan > > To be honest I started to read the mentioned website, was intimidated and decided to sent an email.
