Yarn Patch is one of 10 APIs that [Yarn](https://apis.io/providers/yarn-pkg/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Dependency Customization and JavaScript. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation.

First-class dependency patching — `yarn patch <package>` extracts a temporary editable copy of a dependency and `yarn patch-commit` saves the resulting diff as a `patch:` protocol entry in the lockfile. Eliminates the need for patch-package as a separate tool.
