I only ever used diff once before.



I was trying to get ChatGPT to post a patch file rather than the whole thing but it's been unsuccessful.

What thing are you talking about (repo where the commits are coming from)?
I asked ChatGPT to generate some code. It prints out in one of those html <code>block things
I ask for changes and it takes some time if lots of code. So I ask,
"don't post the whole thing, can you post a diff file?"
There were several attempts by ChatGPT to post a diff file in html <code> block thing that I copy pasted into a file on my computer and tried to patch into my copy of the script but they were unsuccessful. So I wondered, is it line feed, encoding, the patch protocols, some issue with the html.

Does anybody know how the system/syntax for diff files for Bookworm can be explained?

I don't get what you are asking.

At my end the patch partly worked and then bailed before 208c222,231
Maybe it's something about code blocks in a browser.


What patch is that?
