B2G/QA/Apply Patches

For a Gaia patch there are several ways that you can handle applying a patch.

1) Creating a new branch I recommend that you create a branch locally first for the changes that you are about to make. You can do this by:

• git checkout -b <branch name>
• ex git checkout -b Bug908513

2) you can pull the branch locally from a developer's git hub repo via :

• git pull <their gaia.git repo> <branch name>
• ex git pull https://github.com/davidflanagan/gaia.git bug989290-v1.3t

3) to see the branches available locally:

• git branch

4) to switch branches:

• git checkout <branch name>
• ex git checkout master

5) to delete a no longer used branch:

• git branch -D <branch name>
• ex. git branch -D bug_905831
