14
15
16
17           # hack and submit to RT
18
19           # it's probably best to work in a branch
20           % git checkout -b blah
21
22           hack lib/Foo/Bar.pm
23
24           % git commit -am "blah"
25           % git cpan-sendpatch --compose
26
27
28
29           # update the module
30           # this automatically rebases the current branch
31           % git cpan-update
32

DESCRIPTION

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