Hi Angelo,

No problem, we all have to learn new things.

git is a distributed version control.  The idea is that everybody
carries a local copy of the revision history and commits changes to this
local repository.  Once ready, the changes are sent upstream and git
even helps noticing changes that were introduced upstream which
originated locally.

> so "git format-patch -n --cover-letter"  don't give any output.

Commit the changes that you have locally with "git commit" and use "git
format-patch -n --cover-letter <last-mainline-commit>" where
<last-mainline-commit>" designates one of the possible ways to name a
git commit, i.e. either a hash or a symbolic notation like HEAD~3.  "man
gitworkflows" may be a nice thing to read at this stage.

Cheers
