Additionally notices and complains to an -o option without directory or a duplicated -o option, -o and --stdout given together. Also delays the creation of directory until all arguments are parsed, so that the command does not leave an empty directory behind when it exits after seeing an unrelated invalid option.

NAME

----
|
|
git-format-patch - Prepare patches for e-mail submission
|
|
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
[verse]
|
|
'git-format-patch' [-n | -k] [-o <dir> | --stdout] [--attach]
|
|
[-s | --signoff] [--diff-options] [--start-number <n>]
|
|
<since>[..<until>]
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
Prepare each commit between <since> and <until> with its patch in
|
|
one file per commit, formatted to resemble UNIX mailbox format.
|
|
If ..<until> is not specified, the head of the current working
|
|
tree is implied.
|
|
|
|
The output of this command is convenient for e-mail submission or
|
|
for use with gitlink:git-am[1].
|
|
|
|
Each output file is numbered sequentially from 1, and uses the
|
|
first line of the commit message (massaged for pathname safety) as
|
|
the filename. The names of the output files are printed to standard
|
|
output, unless the --stdout option is specified.
|
|
|
|
If -o is specified, output files are created in <dir>. Otherwise
|
|
they are created in the current working directory.
|
|
|
|
If -n is specified, instead of "[PATCH] Subject", the first line
|
|
is formatted as "[PATCH n/m] Subject".
|
|
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
-------
|
|
-o|--output-directory <dir>::
|
|
Use <dir> to store the resulting files, instead of the
|
|
current working directory.
|
|
|
|
-n|--numbered::
|
|
Name output in '[PATCH n/m]' format.
|
|
|
|
--start-number <n>::
|
|
Start numbering the patches at <n> instead of 1.
|
|
|
|
-k|--keep-subject::
|
|
Do not strip/add '[PATCH]' from the first line of the
|
|
commit log message.
|
|
|
|
-s|--signoff::
|
|
Add `Signed-off-by:` line to the commit message, using
|
|
the committer identity of yourself.
|
|
|
|
--stdout::
|
|
Print all commits to the standard output in mbox format,
|
|
instead of creating a file for each one.
|
|
|
|
--attach::
|
|
Create attachments instead of inlining patches.
|
|
|
|
|
|
CONFIGURATION
|
|
-------------
|
|
You can specify extra mail header lines to be added to each
|
|
message in the repository configuration as follows:
|
|
|
|
[format]
|
|
headers = "Organization: git-foo\n"
|
|
|
|
|
|
EXAMPLES
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
git-format-patch -k --stdout R1..R2 | git-am -3 -k::
|
|
Extract commits between revisions R1 and R2, and apply
|
|
them on top of the current branch using `git-am` to
|
|
cherry-pick them.
|
|
|
|
git-format-patch origin::
|
|
Extract all commits which are in the current branch but
|
|
not in the origin branch. For each commit a separate file
|
|
is created in the current directory.
|
|
|
|
git-format-patch -M -B origin::
|
|
The same as the previous one. Additionally, it detects
|
|
and handles renames and complete rewrites intelligently to
|
|
produce a renaming patch. A renaming patch reduces the
|
|
amount of text output, and generally makes it easier to
|
|
review it. Note that the "patch" program does not
|
|
understand renaming patches, so use it only when you know
|
|
the recipient uses git to apply your patch.
