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:
|
|
|
|
--bcc::
|
|
Specify a "Bcc:" value for each email.
|
|
+
|
|
The --bcc option must be repeated for each user you want on the bcc list.
|
|
|
|
--cc::
|
|
Specify a starting "Cc:" value for each email.
|
|
+
|
|
The --cc option must be repeated for each user you want on the cc list.
|
|
|
|
--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 the value of the 'sendemail.chainreplyto' configuration
|
|
value; if that is unspecified, default to --chain-reply-to.
|
|
|
|
--compose::
|
|
Use $EDITOR to edit an introductory message for the
|
|
patch series.
|
|
|
|
--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.
|
|
|
|
--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.
|
|
|
|
--no-signed-off-by-cc::
|
|
Do not add emails found in Signed-off-by: or Cc: lines to the
|
|
cc list.
|
|
|
|
--quiet::
|
|
Make git-send-email less verbose. One line per email should be
|
|
all that is output.
|
|
|
|
--smtp-server::
|
|
If set, specifies the outgoing SMTP server to use. A full
|
|
pathname of a sendmail-like program can be specified instead;
|
|
the program must support the `-i` option. Default value can
|
|
be specified by the 'sendemail.smtpserver' configuration
|
|
option; the built-in default is `/usr/sbin/sendmail` or
|
|
`/usr/lib/sendmail` if such program is available, or
|
|
`localhost` otherwise.
|
|
|
|
--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.
|
|
|
|
--suppress-from::
|
|
Do not add the From: address to the cc: list, if it shows up in a From:
|
|
line.
|
|
|
|
--dry-run::
|
|
Do everything except actually send the emails.
|
|
|
|
--envelope-sender::
|
|
Specify the envelope sender used to send the emails.
|
|
This is useful if your default address is not the address that is
|
|
subscribed to a list. If you use the sendmail binary, you must have
|
|
suitable privileges for the -f parameter.
|
|
|
|
--to::
|
|
Specify the primary recipient of the emails generated.
|
|
Generally, this will be the upstream maintainer of the
|
|
project involved.
|
|
+
|
|
The --to option must be repeated for each user you want on the to list.
|
|
|
|
|
|
CONFIGURATION
|
|
-------------
|
|
sendemail.aliasesfile::
|
|
To avoid typing long email addresses, point this to one or more
|
|
email aliases files. You must also supply 'sendemail.aliasfiletype'.
|
|
|
|
sendemail.aliasfiletype::
|
|
Format of the file(s) specified in sendemail.aliasesfile. Must be
|
|
one of 'mutt', 'mailrc', 'pine', or 'gnus'.
