@yarnpkg/plugin-patch

This plugin adds support for the patch: protocol.

Install

This plugin is included by default in Yarn.

Usage

1. Run yarn patch <package name> and edit the resulting folder.

2. Once you're ready, run yarn patch-commit -s <patch folder> to store the result inside a .patch file.

3. Add the patch: protocol to your dependencies as such:

{
  "dependencies": {
    "lodash": "patch:[email protected]#./my-patch-file.patch"
  }
}

Caveat

You cannot add dependencies through the patch: protocol. Check this FAQ entry for more details.
