## Patching guidelines

Follow these steps to patch a specific version of TensorFlow, for example, to
apply fixes to bugs or security vulnerabilities:

*   Clone the TensorFlow repo and switch to the corresponding branch for your
    desired TensorFlow version, for example, branch `r2.8` for version 2.8.
*   Apply (that is, cherry-pick) the desired changes and resolve any code
    conflicts.
