We use 'git format-patch' to generate formatted patches. I have given
a few links ([1],[2],[3)] on know-how.

I usually use these steps:


git add <file1.c>    <adds file to staging area>
git add <file2.c>
<once all the required files are added, create a commit>
git commit   <add the required message to describe the patch>
git format-patch -1 -v1   <create the patch>
-1-> to create patch for last 1 commit
-v1 --> patch-prefix. I have used v1 which indicates version-1, when
we upload the patch a second time, we can use -v2 and so on.
