PyCharm suggests two ways of creating patches:
- On the base of the revisions, either local or committed to the repository, or
- On the base of revisions stored in the local history.
- In the Local Changes tab or the Repository tab
of the Version Control tool window, select a change or changelist you want to create a
patch for. Alternatively, click
on the toolbar of the Repository tab.
- On the main Version Control menu or on the context menu of the selection, choose Create patch.
- In the Create Patch dialog box that opens, review the list of changed files, and make sure that the files to be
included in the patch are selected.
You can specify the desired changelist immediately in the Create Patch dialog box: click Changelist combo box in the upper right corner, and select the desired changelist.
- Add a commit comment. As you type, PyCharm checks the spelling and highlights words in question.
This functionality is available if the 'Spelling' code inspection is enabled.
- Click Create patch.
You can also create patch on the base of your local history. To do that, open the local history view for
the desired directory, file or code fragment, as described in the section
Using Local History,
right-click the desired revision, and choose the
Create Patch
command on the context menu, or
click the create patch button
on the lower toolbar.
