18F init generated *.patch files

This gist contains three patch files which can be used to generate commits related to the base documentation files ( README, CONTRIBUTING, LICENSE) which should be included with every 18F project.

For more information on how these files were generated, please take a look at the 18F-cli repository.

Using *.patch files

To use these patch files in a local repository run the following commands.

git apply add-contributing.patch
git apply add-license.patch
git apply add-readme.patch

Once these are applied to your working directory in git, you can edit the files and restage any hunks you'd like to edit.
