Magento Patches

A collection of Core Magento fixes currently waiting to be merged into Magento.

Sometimes you encounter a core magento bug which has been fixed in the main repo but is not yet distributed, this can be frustrating and you might want the fix yesterday, magento2-patches collects these patches and utilises vaimo/composer-patches to apply them to your code base.

Installation

composer require space48/magento2-patches:dev-master

Add a patch

Go to the PR in the magento2 repo which you want to apply, add .patch to the end of the url and github will produce a patch file for you, put this file in patches/Magento_ModuleName/magento2-issue-ISSUENUMBER.patch and then add an entry to the composer.json file of this repository:

"extra": {
    "patches": {
        "magento/module-name": {
            "Excellent description of the issue which people will see on composer install": {
                "source" : "patches/Magento_ModuleName/magento2-issue-ISSUENUMBER.patch",
                "version" : [
                    "MAGENTO-VERSION_NUMBER e.g. 100.2.*"
                ]
            }
        },

Then on composer install you will see the patch applied:
