==========================
PaperMC has a very lenient policy towards PRs, but would prefer that you try and adhere to the following guidelines.
# All of this needs to be re-done for the new build system
## Understanding Patches
Patches to Paper are very simple, but center around the directories 'Paper-API' and 'Paper-Server'
Assuming you already have forked the repository:
1. Pull the latest changes from the main repository
2. Type `./build.sh` in git bash to apply the changes from upstream
3. cd into `Paper-Server` for server changes, and `Paper-API` for api changes
2. Type `./paper patch` in git bash to apply the changes from upstream
3. cd into `Paper-Server` for server changes, and `Paper-API` for API changes
These directories aren't git repositories in the traditional sense:
@ -26,7 +24,7 @@ Adding patches to Paper is very simple:
1. Modify `Paper-Server` and/or `Paper-API` with the appropriate changes
2. Type `git add .` to add your changes
3. Run `git commit` with the desired patch message
4. Run `./rebuildPatches.sh` in the main directory to convert your commit into a new patch
4. Run `./paper rebuild` in the main directory to convert your commit into a new patch
5. PR your patches back to this repository
Your commit will be converted into a patch that you can then PR into Paper

However, while in the middle of an edit, unless you also reset your API to a related commit, you will not be able to compile.
1. If you have changes you are working on type `git stash` to store them for later
- Later you can type `git stash pop` to get them back
#### Using the Paper tool
The PaperMC build tool provides a handy command to automatically do this type of patch modification.
1. Type `./paper edit server` or `./paper edit api` depending on which project you want to edit.
- It should show something like [this](https://gist.github.com/Zbob750/e6bb220d3b734933c320).
2. Replace `pick` with `edit` for the commit/patch you want to modify, and "save" the changes
- Only do this for one commit at a time.
3. Make the changes you want to make to the patch.
4. Type `./paper edit continue` to finish and rebuild patches.
5. PR your modifications back to this project.
#### Manual method
In case you need something more complex or want more control, this step-by-step instruction does
exactly what the above slightly automated system does.
1. If you have changes you are working on type `git stash` to store them for later.
- Later you can type `git stash pop` to get them back.
2. Type `git rebase -i upstream/upstream`
- It should show something like [this](https://gist.github.com/Zbob750/e6bb220d3b734933c320)
3. Replace `pick` with `edit` for the commit/patch you want to modify, and "save" the changes
- Only do this for one commit until you get more advanced and understand what `git rebase -i` does
4. Make the changes you want to make to the patch
5. Type `git add .` to add your changes
6. Type `git commit --amend` to commit
- **MAKE SURE TO ADD `--amend`** or else a new patch will be created
- You can also modify the commit message here
7. Type `git rebase --continue` to finish rebasing
8. Type `./rebuildPatches.sh` in the main directory
- This will modify the appropriate patches based on your commits
9. PR your modifications to github
- It should show something like [this](https://gist.github.com/Zbob750/e6bb220d3b734933c320).

### Method 2 (sometimes easier)
If you are simply editing a more recent commit or your change is small, simply making the change at HEAD and then moving the commit after you have tested it may be easier.

3. Type `git rebase -i upstream/upstream`, move (cut) your temporary commit and move it under the line of the patch you wish to modify.
4. Change the `pick` with `f` (fixup) or `s` (squash) if you need to edit the commit message
