Clients

A number of clients are available for interacting with Patchwork’s various APIs.

pwclient

Changed in version 2.2: pwclient was previously provided with Patchwork. It has been packaged as a separate application since Patchwork v2.2.0.

The pwclient application can be used to interact with Patchwork from the command line. Functionality provided by pwclient includes:

  • Listing patches, projects, and checks

  • Downloading and applying patches to a local code base

  • Modifying the status of patches

  • Creating new checks

More information on pwclient, including installation and usage instructions, can be found in the documentation and the GitHub repo.

git-pw

The git-pw application can be used to integrate Git with Patchwork. The git-pw application relies on the REST API and can be used to interact to list, download and apply series, bundles and individual patches.

More information on git-pw, including installation and usage instructions, can be found in the documentation and the GitHub repo.

snowpatch

The snowpatch application is a bridge between Patchwork and the Jenkins continuous integration automation server. It monitors the REST API for incoming patches, applies them on top of an existing git tree, triggers appropriate builds and test suites, and reports the results back to Patchwork.

Find out more about snowpatch at its GitHub repo.
