Editing Submit patches to Gitea repositories (section)

== Submit a single patch ==

If you click on any repository, you will see a text box that begins with '''HTTPS'''. You can get a full copy of any public repository by running the command of the form:

    git clone [URL from summary page]

The most reliable way to send a patch without an accounts over email. You can do that by following these steps:

# Clone the repository with the command above.
# Make the changes that you want to the files in the repository with your text editor, etc.
# Commit the changes locally with the command: git commit -a
# Output a patch for your commit with the command: git format-patch HEAD~1
# Attach that patch (it will be a file with a name like 001-SOMETHING.patch) to an email and send it to the owner of the repository.

If you are more comfortable putting a git repository with your changes online somewhere else and sending a link that to repository, that works too!

If you can't find an email or if there's no owner listed or you can't find an email address for the person (sorry!), you can just send it to collective@communitydata.science and we'll make sure it gets to the right place!
