# 👋🧩 ReVanced Patches template



This is a template for creating a new ReVanced Patches repository.  

The repository can have multiple patches, and patches from other repositories can be used together.



For an example repository, see [ReVanced Patches](https://github.com/revanced/revanced-patches).



##  🚀 Get started



To start using this template, follow these steps:



1. [Create a new repository using this template](https://github.com/new?template_name=revanced-patches-template&template_owner=ReVanced)

2. Set up the [build.gradle.kts](build.gradle.kts) file (Match the [group of the project](build.gradle.kts#L8), [manifest attributes](build.gradle.kts#L35-L43), and the [POM](build.gradle.kts#L84-L106) that will be published to yours)

3. Update the dependencies in the [libs.versions.toml](gradle/libs.versions.toml) file

4. [Add a secret](https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/keeping-your-account-and-data-secure/managing-your-personal-access-tokens) to your repository named [REPOSITORY_PUSH_ACCESS](.github/workflows/release.yml#L47) containing a GitHub access token with [push access](https://github.com/semantic-release/semantic-release/blob/master/docs/usage/ci-configuration.md#authentication)

5. Set up the [README.md](README.md) file[^1] (e.g, title, description, license, summary of the patches that are included in the repository)



🎉 You are now ready to start creating patches!



## 🔘 Optional steps



You can also add the following things to the repository:



- [Issue templates](https://docs.github.com/en/communities/using-templates-to-encourage-useful-issues-and-pull-requests/configuring-issue-templates-for-your-repository)[^2]

- Contribution guidelines[^3]

- Documentation, if you want to publish your patches as a library[^4]

## 🧑‍💻 Usage



In order to develop and release ReVanced Patches using this template, some things need to be considered:



- Development originates in feature branches. Once a feature branch is ready, it is squshed and merged into the `dev` branch

- The `dev` branch is merged into the `main` branch once it is ready for release

- Semantic versioning is used for versioning ReVanced Patches. ReVanced Patches have a public API for other patches to use

- Semantic commit messages are used for commits

- Commits on the `dev` branch and `main` branch are automatically released via the [release.yml](.github/workflows/release.yml) workflow, which is also responsible for generating the changelog and updating the version of ReVanced Patches. It is triggered by pushing to the `dev` or `main` branch. The workflow uses the `publish` task to publish the release of ReVanced Patches

- In order to build ReVanced Patches, that can be used on Android, the [`generateBundle`](build.gradle.kts#L48-L70) task needs to be run. The [`publish` task depends on the `generateBundle`](build.gradle.kts#L74-L76) task, so it will be run automatically when publishing a release.
