The kernel patches are applied using "git am", there's been a couple of threads on it. If you're doing the patch in a git checkout of the kernel it's easy enough to use git to create the patch. The process I use is: git checkout -b some-name make changes git commit -a -m "quick message" "git log" to work out the hash git format-patch <previous hash to patch> One of the easier ways to switch between branches is actually to use "fedpkg switch-branch master" and branches allow keeping master clean for easy "git pull" as it works generally. It's fairly straight forward once you get a simple work flow, there's lots of tutorials online.
