Composer Patches Generate
=========================

[](#composer-patches-generate)

Introduction
------------

[](#introduction)

A standalone command-line utility to generate patches for [cweagans/composer-patches](https://docs.cweagans.net/composer-patches/).

Effortlessly capture local modifications to Composer dependencies, commit them to your project, and ensure your custom fixes are reliably applied across all environments during `composer install`.

Install
-------

[](#install)

Make sure `git` and `find` are installed.

```
git version
-> git version 1.51.0

find --version
-> find (GNU findutils) 4.10.0-dirty
```

```
composer require --dev fhaase/composer-patches-generate

# Recommended to apply patches on install
composer require cweagans/composer-patches
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Generate or update patch files

[](#generate-or-update-patch-files)

1. Create a copy of a file with `*.old` suffix inside one of the composer packages
2. Modify the original file
    There should now be files like this: ```
    UserFactory.php
    UserFactory.php.old

    ```
3. Run the command with the package name
    `vendor/bin/composer-patches-generate vendor/example`
4. When prompted, you can give a short description to generate configuration for `cweagans/composer-patches` \\ ```
    {
       "extra": {
           "patches": {
               "vendor/example": {
                   "": "patches/vendor_example/UserFactory.patch"
               }
           }
       }
    }
    ```
5. Repeat Step 3 to update the patches when further changes are necessary.
