## {icon bus} About Libre BusTO
Libre BusTO, or simply **[[https://f-droid.org/packages/it.reyboz.bustorino/|BusTO]]**, is your Android app that gives you arrival times for all public transport in Turin and its outskirts. Type in the number of the bus stop and get all the information about scheduled and real arrival times of every 5T/GTT's vehicle stopping there.
Some features:
* Simple interface
* Search by number
* Search by name
* Position suggestions
* Save favorite stops
And not obviously:
* No binary blob files
* No tracking
* No ads
* Fairly light
Do not confuse this app with other proprietary software made by some other people.

## {icon code-fork} How to submit a Patch to BusTO ("pull request")
**We hate GitHub** so don't create pull requests in GitHub. Open your mind and follow these simple instructions:
1. Do some small changes
2. Install the amazing `arcanist` package (`sudo apt install arcanist`)
3. Run `arc diff` inside the project directory
4. Read the instructions
Done!
Or instead, if you are lazy, or like to get technical:
1. Do some small changes
2. Do some commits
3. Generate a patch with (assuming you're keeping the branches name)
```
git format-patch -k --stdout origin/master..master > my-patch.diff
```
4. Upload your file `my-patch.diff` here: https://gitpull.it/differential/diff/create/
Done!
Or instead, if you are an asshole:
1. Just do your pull request in GitHub, but then don't expect to receive a present from Santa.
In any case: we love small commits with small changes!
