In the following Github issue are there 35 commits
How can I get a copy of those commits as patches or git diff's, so I can keep a local copy?
From what I can tell, not all commits have been accepted, but I like to have a copy of them all anyway.
This question is different from this, as the commits in that answer have all been committed.
You can usually do this by adding the word .patch or .diff onto the end of the url, i.e.:
https://patch-diff.githubusercontent.com/raw/overleaf/web/pull/103.diff
However it appears that (I think) because the original repository isn't present, this doesn't work.
This also precludes manually cloning the original repo and then creating a patch from there on the command-line.
However you can get access to the branch containing a PR by doing the following:
git clone https://github.com/sharelatex/web-sharelatex
cd web-sharelatex
# edit .git/config - change the 'origin' fetch entry to:
fetch = +refs/pull/*/head:refs/remotes/origin/pr/*
git fetch -a
git checkout remotes/origin/pr/103
You can now get access to all the commits in that PR and generate patches etc.
