It's a bit of a manual process given that we don't use branches<br>
and a pull-request model as GitHub favors, but it's not hard.<br>
I don't think I've done this myself since the move to github so<br>
I might be missing a step, hopefully others will chime in to fix<br>
my mistakes.<br>
<br>
Assuming the patch is in a Phabricator review, there should be a <br>
"Download Raw Diff" link on the right-hand side at the top. This,<br>
oddly enough, should download a diff file, which you can then apply<br>
to your working tree with "patch" or similar utility.<br>
<br>
What I do then is copy the summary into a text file, making sure <br>
the formatting looks reasonable. You want to add two lines to it:<br>
<br>
Patch by <name of author><br>
<br>
Differential Revision: <a href="https://reviews.llvm.org/Dxxxxx" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://reviews.llvm.org/Dxxxxx</a><br>
<br>
filling in the author and actual review number. Make sure there's<br>
a blank line before the Differential Revision line.<br>
<br>
Then you commit this as usual, but add the --author option to<br>
provide (I think) the email address of the author. (This might be<br>
redundant with the "Patch by" information, so the current practice<br>
might be to leave out "Patch by", not sure.) And of course -F to<br>
specify the file where you put the commit message.<br>
<br>
Once it's committed, do the usual build/test/push.<br>
