URL for commit as a patch
Reported by Pedro Melo | May 3rd, 2008 @ 07:22 AM
Hi,
sorry if this already exists but I could not find it.
It would be very nice to have a link in the commit page to the patch version of said commit.
This makes it easier to tell people who are still not using git to:
curl PATCH-URL | patch -p1
For bonus points, the diff URL should also be in a tag with the rel="alternate".
Thanks,

That would be pretty bad-ass. Especially if you enabled us to pass in a revision range like you can with git diff
curl http://github.com/rails/rails.gi...^^^ | patch -p1
curl http://github.com/rails/rails.gi... | patch -p1
and so forth.

You can add '.diff' to any commit url to get a plaintext version.

Awesome :). I didn't know that, is that documented somewhere?
Thanks!

Perhaps ".patch" could return a formatted patch (with Author etc info at the top).
Some UI links/buttons to these easter egg urls would be useful too.
