Description
[See original issue on GitLab](https://gitlab.com/BuildStream/buildstream/-/issues/704)
In GitLab by [[Gitlab user @coldtom]](https://gitlab.com/coldtom) on Oct 11, 2018, 11:45
## Background
After editing source code in a workspace, it would be nice if BuildStream provided a way to export a diff/patch of the changes, so it could be easily applied to the version being used in the build.
Contributor guide
Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or command entry points, so start by reviewing the linked GitLab issue and locating BuildStream's workspace-related commands. Define how a workspace change should be exported as a patch and how that patch is applied to the build source; completion should include coverage for the resulting workflow.
