14           % git-cpan clone Foo::Bar
15           % cd Foo-Bar
16
17           # hack and submit to RT
18
19           # it's probably best to work in a branch

22           ... hack lib/Foo/Bar.pm ...
23
24           % git commit -am "blah"
25           % git-cpan send-patch
26
27           # update the module

DESCRIPTION

32       Git::CPAN::Patch provides a suite of git commands aimed at making
33       trivially easy the process of  grabbing any distribution off CPAN,
34       stuffing it in a local git repository and, once gleeful hacking has
35       been perpetrated, sending back patches to its maintainer.
36
37       NOTE: This module is supported in Linux, BSD, and the like. This module
38       is not supported in Microsoft Windows (Cygwin, Strawberry Perl).  See
39       CPAN Testers Matrix <http://matrix.cpantesters.org/?dist=Git-CPAN-
40       Patch> for currently supported operating systems.
