 Though many actions can be performed using *rad patch*, certain patch-related

 done using *git push*, while merging a patch is done with a combination of
 *git merge* and *git push*.
 
 To make this possible, Radicle ships with a helper program, *git-remote-rad*
 which is invoked by *git* on push and fetch to and from Radicle remotes.
