'Git `format-patch` returns nothing
I am trying to create a patch for a commit in my repository.
- System: Windows 10
- Tools Git Windows Desktop and Git Shell
git --version => git version 2.10.1.windows.1
When I try to create the patch I go:
git format-patch master
git format-patch master -o C:\Users\MyUser\Desktop
git format-patch master --stdout > C:\Users\MyUser\Desktop\MyPatch.patch
In all 3 cases, I get nothing. In the first 2 cases, no file is saved in the locations I specify. In the third case, the generated file is 0 bytes.
State of my repository
I have pushed everything to master. So I have no more local unstaged or staged commits. Everything is on the server.
Also, if I change a file and have unstaged changes, still it does not work.
I've also tried:
git format-patch <ccommit-sha>
Using the SHA hash of a commit I pushed. Still does not work.
What am I doing wrong?
