Git::CPAN::Patch(3)   User Contributed Perl Documentation  Git::CPAN::Patch(3)

NAME
       Git::CPAN::Patch - Patch CPAN modules using Git

VERSION
       version 0.4.6

SYNOPSIS
	   # import a module:

	   % mkdir Foo-Bar
	   % cd Foo-Bar
	   % git cpan-init Foo::Bar

	   # hack and submit to RT

	   # it's probably best to work in a branch
	   % git checkout -b blah

	   hack lib/Foo/Bar.pm

	   % git commit -am "blah"
	   % git cpan-sendpatch --compose

	   # update the module
	   # this automatically rebases the current branch
	   % git cpan-update

DESCRIPTION
       Git::CPAN::Patch provides a suite of git commands aimed at making
       trivially easy the process of  grabbing any distribution off CPAN,
       stuffing it in a local git repository and, once gleeful hacking has
       been perpetrated, sending back patches to its maintainer.

       git-cpan-init
	   Create a git repository for a CPAN module

       git-backpan-init
	   Initialize a repository for a CPAN module with full history from
	   the backpan.

       git-cpan-import
	   Import a module into a git repository.

       git-cpan-last-version
	   Report the last imported version

       git-cpan-send-email
	   Use "git-send-email" to submit patches to CPAN RT

       git-cpan-sendpatch
	   Create patch files and submit then to RT

       git-cpan-update
	   Import the latest version of a module and rebase the current branch

       git-cpan-format-patch
	   Format patches using "cpan/master" as the origin reference

       git-cpan-squash
	   Combine multiple commits into one patch

       git-cpan-which
	   Report the managed module
