Patching asphalt shingle roof questions

Long story short, I plan to patch a hole in the roof. I have asphalt shingles on plywood. If understand the shingles part, peeling them back, installing new ones. If I cut a square in the old plywood, put a new patch of plywood on, across two roof joints, my question is... what do I put on the plywood and across the seams of the patch before I put shingles over it? Some kind of paper? Some kind of tape over the paper? I know there are fancy patch options that are sold in bulk to contractors but I'm a homeowner so I just need something reliable, ideally not in bulk, that I can get readily at a US hardware store. Thanks! submitted by /u/echoniner007 [link] [comments]
