Patchman Feature Checklist (Initial Planning)
- Apply patches in order (like
quilt push
) - Revert applied patches (like
quilt pop
) - Track current patch level
- Edit the currently active patch
- Generate a new patch from:
- specific files
- all staged changes
- all unstaged changes
- Configure upstream source (branch or remote)
- Fetch and reset to upstream (optionally via config)
- Use a project-local config file (e.g.
patchman.yaml
) - Derive patch series order from numbered filenames (no
series
file required) - Optional reverse-apply (
git revert
or patch reverse) - Integrate with Git (using CLI directly, not a lib)
- Provide CLI via
typer
with autocompletion - Build a Textual-based TUI frontend (after CLI is stable)
- Handle malformed or outdated patch files gracefully
- Support dry-run mode (for testing without modification)
