1  Let's say we have some changes in a branch:
 2  
 3  ```
 4  $ git checkout -b cloudhead/draft
 5  $ git commit -a -m "Nothing to see here.." -q --allow-empty
 6  ```
 7  
 8  To open a patch in draft mode, we use the `--draft` option:
 9  
10  ``` (stderr)
11  $ git push -o patch.draft -o patch.message="Nothing yet" rad HEAD:refs/patches
12  ✓ Patch 78fcb007b4a3a898379f1e220d4b9fb54ad04cfc drafted
13  To rad://z42hL2jL4XNk6K8oHQaSWfMgCL7ji/z6MknSLrJoTcukLrE435hVNQT4JUhbvWLX4kUzqkEStBU8Vi
14   * [new reference]   HEAD -> refs/patches
15  ```
16  
17  We can confirm it's a draft by running `show`:
18  
19  ```
20  $ rad patch show 78fcb007b4a3a898379f1e220d4b9fb54ad04cfc

35  
36  Once the patch is ready for review, we can use the `ready` command:
37  
38  ```
39  $ rad patch ready 78fcb007b4a3a898379f1e220d4b9fb54ad04cfc
40  ```
41  
42  ```

58  
59  If for whatever reason, it needed to go back into draft mode, we could use
60  the `--undo` flag:
61  
62  ```
63  $ rad patch ready --undo 78fcb007b4a3a898379f1e220d4b9fb54ad04cfc
