DPATCH-LIST-PATCH(1)

📦 version 2.0.41, in ubuntu jammy

✨ NAME ✨

dpatch-list-patch — bestie, it literally just lists the patches you have available 💅

It's a General Commands Manual situation, if you were wondering — yes, the dpatch-list-patch(1) one, section 1, we love a numbered section, periodt.

📜 SYNOPSIS 📜

dpatch-list-patch [options]

No cap, that's the whole thing. Just the command and some optional flags 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so, real talk: this manual page is the quick lil' rundown of dpatch-list-patch, and what it does is genuinely so simple it's kind of iconic. It lists the available patches in a dpatch-based source tree, and it brings their accompanying comments along for the ride too 💖

Like. That's it. That's the whole job. It shows you what patches exist and what they have to say about themselves. Slay.

💀 WARNING 💀

dpatch is deprecated. Not "kinda old", not "vintage aesthetic" — deprecated. Please switch to the 3.0 (quilt) Debian source package format instead. 🙈

If you're sitting there like "okay but how", there's a short guide waiting for you at:

Go read it bestie, your future self will thank you 🎀

So here's the vibe: with no options at all, dpatch-list-patch will list the patches in the current source tree. Easy. Effortless. Main character energy ✨
