Create patch against another branch

Open jwheat opened this issue 8 years ago • 1 comments

Great extension, just rated it, thanks for making it.

I have a feature request which may be beyond the scope of this extension. To be able to create a patch against another branch, not just (un)staged files in the same branch.

Maybe this is just how I work so maybe its not a realistic request, which is ok. I typically commit my changes in a feature or bugfix branch, then while in that branch create a patch against say the dev branch with something like -

git format-patch dev --stdout > mypatch-name.patch

Hey J,

This is certainly out of scope for this extension. But will think about it. Thanks !
