First you need to view all changes you made on templates and snippets. You need to have both versions of each customized template and snippet, the original version and the customized one. You now need to use a diff tool that extracts all differences between both set of templates and snippets.
On UNIX™
The
classic diff tool on UNIX is
the command line 'diff'.
$ diff -u /some/where/original-snippet.xhtml /some/where/else/customized-snippet.xhtml > snippet.patch
For
example:
The Image.xhtml.patch file
will contain a readable view of all changes resulting from your customizations.
Repeat the command for all you modified templates and snippets.$ diff -u /opt/gas/tpl/SetAjax/Image.xhtml /opt/gas/tpl/MyCustomSetAjax/Image.xhtml > Image.xhtml.patch
On Windows™
The recommended diff tool on Windows is the Open Source WinMerge tool.
Once WinMerge is installed, do the following:
- Right click on original template or snippet and select "WinMerge"
in context menu
Figure 1. Select WinMerge
- In "Select Files or Folder'" dialog, click the "Browse..." button
on the "Right:" line, select the customized template or snippet file,
then click on the "Open" button.
Figure 2. Select Files or Folders dialog
- In "Select Files or Folder'" dialog, click the "OK" button. You
see a display of changes between the two files.

- Generate the patch: Choose "Tools > Generate Patch...", choose
a patch filename like snippet.xhtml.patch, choose
"Unified" in "Format > Style" combobox, and then click the "Ok" button.
