Re: bun patch, it would be great if it were possible to fetch remote patches (with a sha specified).

I aim to have an "upstream first" policy when it comes to patching/forking dependencies.

And fun fact about GitHub, you can append .patch to a PR url or commit URL to get a patch file.

This makes patches self-documenting (they literally are a link to the upstream PR) if the tool can fetch remote patches. Nix is the only tool I'm aware of that makes this easy.
