According to the page you have linked above "You should now have files in the working directory named as 0001-<commit>.patch and 0002-<commit>.patch etc; These files should be emailed to the centos-devel list as attachments ( ie, not inline in the email body ). Include information about what change you are requesting and if needed include information on bugs.centos.org that points to the list archive page that has your email from http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-devel."
Yes, I have the file genereated but this file includes the whole project ( extracted tar ) instead of taking the changes that I did.

Hi Team,
I am trying to contribute to the existing Git repos.
I have followed the process from the below link
https://wiki.centos.org/Sources
[user@host]$ git clone https://git.centos.org/git/rpms/kernel.git cd kernel # let's work on the centos7 kernel [user@host]$ git checkout c7 [user@host]$ ~/bin/get_sources.sh # switch to the local tree to edit [user@host]$ git checkout -b my-kernel # make edits to SPEC file, etc [user@host]$ git commit -m 'my local change' -a
This command ~/bin/get_sources.sh has downloaded the xxxx.tar.gz
file in the SOURCES directory.
Now I have extracted the tar file and did the changes.
At this stage If I commit then I have to include all the extracted files.
If I run git format-patch c7 it generate the file which includes all
the files.
Please guide me how to contribute to the existing GIT REPOS.

I've never done that, so beyond that, hopefully someone else can explain.
