Check here I'll give some basic info to make patch files
A patch is mainly composed of patch rules. Currently, it supports 8 patch rules:

ADD_FILES, REMOVE_FILES, MATCH_REPLACE, MATCH_ASSIGN, MATCH_GOTO, GOTO,MERGE, EXECUTE_DEX,DUMMY

Inside a rule, each line starts with ‘#’ means that is a comment line. And, each configuration starts in a new line.
Please take following illustrations and examples to see how to create patch.txt

And must zip  patch file...

1)Remove files 

By this patch file we can delete some files inside the apk and it is very simple to make this patch rule see below some examples I'll write

Ex1)

[REMOVE_FILES]
TARGET:
res/values-ru
[/REMOVE_FILES]

Ex2)

[REMOVE_FILES]
TARGET:
    res/raw-en
    res/raw-ar
res/values/strings.xml
[/REMOVE_FILES]

2)adding files

[ADD_FILES]

SOURCE:

    layout.zip

TARGET:

    res/layout

EXTRACT:

    true

[/ADD_FILES]


Ex1)

[ADD_FILES]
SOURCE:
    SplashActivity.smali
TARGET:
   smali/SplashActivity.smali
[/ADD_FILES]


Sorry ex1 needs extra stuff but at least i tried to explain here... Unzip some patch files then you get clear idea about them

3)[MATCH_REPLACE]

Ex1)

[MATCH_REPLACE]
TARGET:
 AndroidManifest.xml
MATCH:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
REGEX:
false
REPLACE:
[/MATCH_REPLACE]

Through the above example we can remove lines in AndroidManifest.xml 

If you want to remove more then you can add like the below example. Let t me show another example 

Ex2)

[PACKAGE]

*

[MATCH_REPLACE]

TARGET:

 AndroidManifest.xml

MATCH:

 <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />

REGEX:

false

REPLACE:

[/MATCH_REPLACE]

[MATCH_REPLACE]

TARGET:

 AndroidManifest.xml

MATCH:

 <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_MOCK_LOCATION" />

REGEX:

false

REPLACE:

[/MATCH_REPLACE]

[MATCH_REPLACE]

TARGET:

 AndroidManifest.xml

MATCH:

 <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />

REGEX:

false

REPLACE:

[/MATCH_REPLACE]

I think you Understand this cool 🙃

4)MERGE 

# MERGE is designed to merge resources and code from other apk

#

# Merge resources and smali files inside extra.zip

# res/values/public.xml must be provided inside extra.zip

# The patch engine will try to refactor all the added ids

# The added ids should be different with current existing ids

[MERGE]

SOURCE:

    extra.zip

[/MERGE]

OK R remaining are very complicated to explain if you still want to learn them then comment below... If i found many requests then I'll try to explain in detail.... Because it's takes lot's of time to explain🙃

Because remaining are very important and at the same time it is very difficult to understand and explain too....
