Good day,

Am new on this list, and also compile the kernel linux from git after
clone. since I don't use the tar kernel version, am use to clone a new
kernel branch instead to update it via patch.

Please can you explain to me how to make a patch after clone it?

This is my clone command:
 git clone
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git linux-3.2

To make a patch?

I think you want something like this (uncompleted/untested offhand):

$ git checkout -b my-patch origin/master
# hack on some files
$ git commit -a -s
# edit commit message
$ git format-patch
$ git send-email

Hugely these are the commands I'd use to make a change and send it out to LKML.
