BK-MAKEPATCH(1)

✨ bk makepatch — creates BitKeeper patches ✨

okay so real talk, this one comes from the BitKeeper User's Manual and it's giving ✨low-level✨ energy, so buckle up bestie 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

bk makepatch [−vd] [−rrange] [−]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so makepatch is a low level command that generates BitKeeper patches 🎀 like, it's the machinery under the hood, not your everyday main character. Keep that in mind, iykyk 🫶

💖 OPTIONS 💖

• −B — includes the data from any BAM files in the patch 🔥 normally BAM files get sent without the implied data, so this is you being extra in the best way 💅
• −C — generates a patch that's compatible with any supported version of BitKeeper 👑 like, plays nice with everybody, no cap.
• −d — adds a header with the unified diffs to the top of the BitKeeper patch 🌸 lil intro moment, honestly iconic.
• −rrange — generates a BitKeeper patch of the changesets in range ✨ specify what you want, get what you asked for, periodt.
• −v — be more verbose for each instance 🗣️ more words! more info! we love a chatty king.
• − — instead of giving the range with −r, this form expects the revisions on standard input, one per line, either as keys or revisions 🎀 pipe it in, bestie, one per line, no skipping.

💀 NOTES 💀

ngl, in general users do not use this command directly — it's called by bk pull or bk push 😭 it's the backstage crew, fr fr. If you need to send patches to a non‐BitKeeper user, then use bk export instead 🫶 that's the move.

By default, patches are created in the latest patch format known by this version of BitKeeper ⭐ With −C, patches will be compatible with the oldest version of BitKeeper that is still supported 🌈 so like, backwards-compatible slay.
