| NAME |
| ---- |
| git-send-email - Send a collection of patches as emails |
| |
| |
| SYNOPSIS |
| -------- |
| 'git-send-email' [options] <file|directory> [... file|directory] |
| |
| |
| |
| DESCRIPTION |
| ----------- |
| Takes the patches given on the command line and emails them out. |
| |
| The header of the email is configurable by command line options. If not |
| specified on the command line, the user will be prompted with a ReadLine |
| enabled interface to provide the necessary information. |
| |
| OPTIONS |
| ------- |
| The options available are: |
| |
| --to:: |
| Specify the primary recipient of the emails generated. |
| Generally, this will be the upstream maintainer of the |
| project involved. |
| |
| --from:: |
| Specify the sender of the emails. This will default to |
| the value GIT_COMMITTER_IDENT, as returned by "git-var -l". |
| The user will still be prompted to confirm this entry. |
| |
| --compose:: |
| Use \$EDITOR to edit an introductory message for the |
| patch series. |
| |
| --subject:: |
| Specify the initial subject of the email thread. |
| Only necessary if --compose is also set. If --compose |
| is not set, this will be prompted for. |
| |
| --in-reply-to:: |
| Specify the contents of the first In-Reply-To header. |
| Subsequent emails will refer to the previous email |
| instead of this if --chain-reply-to is set (the default) |
| Only necessary if --compose is also set. If --compose |
| is not set, this will be prompted for. |
| |
| --chain-reply-to, --no-chain-reply-to:: |
| If this is set, each email will be sent as a reply to the previous |
| email sent. If disabled with "--no-chain-reply-to", all emails after |
| the first will be sent as replies to the first email sent. When using |
| this, it is recommended that the first file given be an overview of the |
| entire patch series. |
| Default is --chain-reply-to |
| |
| --smtp-server:: |
| If set, specifies the outgoing SMTP server to use. Defaults to |
| localhost. |
