Patch

The [[patch]] table defines a patch to be applied to a file. HermitGrab can parse TOML, YAML, and JSON (with comments) and apply the patch (which can also be in any of those formats). Note that comments and formatting in the original target document will be lost during this process.

Key	Type	Default	Description
`source`	String	Required	Path to the patch file within the HermitGrab repository.
`target`	String	Required	Path to the file to be patched on the target system. Supports Handlebars and XDG variables.
`type`	String	Required	The patch method. See below for possible values.
`requires`	Array of Strings	`[]`	A list of tags that must be active for this patch to be processed.
