aube patch

  • Usage: aube patch [--edit-dir <DIR>] [--ignore-existing] <PACKAGE>
  • Effect: modifies state

Extract a package into an edit directory so it can be patched

Arguments

  • <PACKAGE> — Package spec, <name>@<version>.

    The package must already be installed in node_modules (aube copies from the linked virtual store, not from the registry, so the layout matches what install would later patch).

Flags

  • --edit-dir <DIR> — Directory to extract the writable copy into.

    When omitted, aube picks a fresh temp dir under the system tmpdir.

  • --ignore-existing — Ignore any existing patch entry for this package.

    Extracts a pristine copy from node_modules rather than re-applying the existing patch first. Accepted for pnpm parity; aube already extracts from the linked (post-patch) tree, so this flag is effectively informational here.

  • -h --help — Print help
