Create Patch

Create a patch file containing all uncommitted changes (staged and unstaged) and save it to ~/Downloads.

Instructions

1. Run git status to verify there are uncommitted changes
2. Get the current branch name with git branch --show-current
3. Generate a filename using format: <branch>-<timestamp>.patch
4. Create the patch with git diff HEAD to capture all uncommitted changes (staged + unstaged)
5. Move the patch file to ~/Downloads/
6. Report the full path and summary of what was included

Patch Generation

# Get branch name (sanitize for filename)
branch=$(git branch --show-current | tr '/' '-')

# Generate timestamp
timestamp=$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S)

# Create patch filename
filename="${branch}-${timestamp}.patch"

# Generate patch with all uncommitted changes
git diff HEAD > "/tmp/${filename}"

# Move to Downloads
mv "/tmp/${filename}" ~/Downloads/

# Show result
echo "Patch saved to: ~/Downloads/${filename}"

Rules

• MUST include both staged and unstaged changes (use git diff HEAD)
• MUST sanitize branch name for valid filename (replace / with -)
• MUST verify the patch is non-empty before moving
• MUST report the full path of the created patch
• If no changes exist, inform the user and do not create an empty patch
• Never modify or stage any files
• Never commit anything
