Files with extension '.diff' are consider as git patches by apply script.
A file for PyTorch PR N needs to be named 'N.diff'.
Patch files which are not related to PyTorch PRs, should begin with an 'X' character, followed by a two digit number, followed by a dash ('-'), a name, and '.diff'. Example:
X10-optimizer.diff
Patch file are alphabetically ordered, so PyTorch PR patches are always applied before the non PyTorch ones.
There's a special file torch_patches/.torch_pin
, which is used to coordinate landing PRs in
pytorch/pytorch
and pytorch/xla
.
To test a pytorch/xla
PR against a pytorch/pytorch
PR or branch,
put the PR number or branch name in this file.
Example:
#32451
# or
my_awesome_branch # (must live in `pytorch/pytorch`)
