Most of us working in open source projects need to generate modification on a special part of code.
After making changes we need to send it. Only the difference in the file is needed to be sent.
So how to create a difference(diff) file ? Simple .Follow these steps
diff <original dir>X.c <working dir>X.c > “diff file”
Here diff file may be X.c.diff.
X.c is a c language file.
Now if we receive the diff file, how to join(patch) it with our orginal file? See below
patch X.c X.c.diff
