[Feature] Allow editing of patches after creation #3358
Description
- I'd be willing to implement this feature (contributing guide)
- This feature is important to have in this repository; a contrib plugin wouldn't do
Describe the user story
Yarnpkg plugin patch is great, but there is one thing that I need in order to migrate my project to it.
We have several patches that need to be updated semi-frequently, but it seems that the patch plugin doesn't allow you to modify the code after the first patch is created. Every time you run yarn patch, it creates a temp folder with the package's original contents, not the contents that a previously-made patch dictates. This would be super helpful, and I would really appreciate this feature being added.
Describe the solution you'd like
Either have the patch plugin apply the patch to the source code in the temp folder, or have a flag that does this.
Describe the drawbacks of your solution
Not sure of any really, but open to criticism if anybody has some.
Describe alternatives you've considered
This is a feature for the patch plugin itself, so I feel like it would be redundant to make a plugin for this plugin!
Thanks in advance!
