This means that you can send only the data that you want to update, leaving the rest intact.

/// note

`PATCH` is less commonly used and known than `PUT`.

You are **free** to use them however you want, **FastAPI** doesn't impose any restrictions.

But this guide shows you, more or less, how they are intended to be used.

# Values set by 'go env -w' and written to the user's go/env file override these.
# The environment overrides everything else.

# Use the Go module mirror and checksum database by default.
