This is just a collection of patches for packages (most likely Drupal.org modules) that aren't hosted officially anywhere. They're hosted here in a public repository so that we can download and apply them when installing our composer projects.
NB: Patches placed here are supposed to be temporary until the patched issue is fixed or we can replace the patch with one hosted officially somewhere.
To add a new patch just add it to this repository and then you can link to it using:
