Support patch files

202 votes

Git patch files store differences (diffs) that need to be applied to a file or a group of files on a user's system.

As a user, I would like the ability to create and apply patch files in GitKraken so I don't need to fork a repo to send changes. Bonus points to have the ability to send a patch to a member of your team within GitKraken.

Related to this - to be able to export changes between two commits or branches as an archive (RAR or ZIP) to deploy to a customer's filesystem directly.
(an Anti-Patch if you will)

Good request,
You can see what is needed in tortoisehg!
* select multiple commits + send or export as patch(es)
* import patch(es) from file and clipboard
* and of course the patchqueue + shelf which allow reorder, altering/modify, ammend, selective apply ,.... of patches (its like an super-stash on steroids)
* show active patches in Graph (also allow things like diff against other commits / patches,...)

even 50% of that would be the biggest improvement in using git/git-guis since years :-)
