Brazing it with brass is the only perminate patching that will work with copper besides replacing the copper itself. JB weld and all of these other epoxies will not hold.

This will not hold up on a pressurized water line. You could get away with this on a drain, but I wouldn't.
Mine has been in place for quite a while. A root had crimped the line and the pipe failed at the site of the crimp. I can't remember whether I cut the pipe at each end to remove the crimp (but I'm sure I did). It is not a main pressurized line, but there is water pressure.

For a day or two just stick a roofing screw with a rubber gasket. It will hold a few days.

Sharkbites have saved me so many plumber calls it not even funny. I had to use one this weekend on a outside faucet the sawder came lose from the brick. I bought a sharkbite and screwed a new faucet to the sharkbite.
Sharkbites for sure.

Usually I say don’t sweat it. But in this case you should sweat it.
