format-patch - prepare a patch to send to others

If you don't have write permission to the remote repository, you can create a patch to send to other developers with git format-patch:

$ git format-patch origin
0001-Some-tests.patch
0002-More-commits.patch
$ 

Then email the nnnn-*.patch files to the developer.

Or, on github, one can do "pull request".
