pnpm patch <pkg>

Prepare a package for patching (inspired by a similar command in Yarn).

This command will cause a package to be extracted in a temporary directory intended to be editable at will.

Once you're done with your changes, run pnpm patch-commit <path> (with <path> being the temporary directory you received) to generate a patchfile and register it into your top-level manifest via the patchedDependencies field.

Usage:

pnpm patch <pkg name>@<version>

note

If you want to change the dependencies of a package, don't use patching to modify the package.json file of the package. For overriding dependencies, use overrides or a package hook.

Options

--edit-dir <dir>

The package that needs to be patched will be extracted to this directory.

--ignore-existing

Ignore existing patch files when patching.
