Simple question: what do I type to generate a patch?


Assuming you are working from CVS (which we always suggest):
  % cvs diff
or
  $ cvs diff <directory-or-file>

My 2c: I use cvs -q diff, to stop it whinging about directories.

One thing I like is to add this to ~/.cvsrc:
	diff -u5 -p -N

Agreed. Although in some rare cases context diffs are more useful (-v5 instead of -u5) unified diffs are generally better IMHO. Personal taste I know.
