|
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. |
|
|
|
--cc-cmd:: |
|
Specify a command to execute once per patch file which |
|
should generate patch file specific "Cc:" entries. |
|
Output of this command must be single email address per line. |
|
Default is the value of 'sendemail.cccmd' configuration value. |
|
|
|
--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 $GIT_EDITOR, core.editor, $VISUAL, or $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. |
|
|
|
--signed-off-by-cc:: |
|
--no-signed-off-by-cc:: |
|
If this is set, add emails found in Signed-off-by: or Cc: lines to the |
|
cc list. |
|
Default is the value of 'sendemail.signedoffcc' configuration value; |
|
if that is unspecified, default to --signed-off-by-cc. |
|
|
|
--quiet:: |
|
Make git-send-email less verbose. One line per email should be |
|
all that is output. |
|
|
|
--identity:: |
|
A configuration identity. When given, causes values in the |
|
'sendemail.<identity>' subsection to take precedence over |
|
values in the 'sendemail' section. The default identity is |
|
the value of 'sendemail.identity'. |
|
|
|
--smtp-server:: |
|
If set, specifies the outgoing SMTP server to use (e.g. |
|
`smtp.example.com` or a raw IP address). Alternatively it can |
|
specify a full pathname of a sendmail-like program 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. |
|
|
|
--smtp-server-port:: |
|
Specifies a port different from the default port (SMTP |
|
servers typically listen to smtp port 25 and ssmtp port |
|
465). |
|
|
|
--smtp-user:: |
|
Username for SMTP-AUTH. In place of this option, the following |
|
configuration variables can be specified: |
|
+ |
|
-- |
|
* sendemail.smtpuser |
|
* sendemail.<identity>.smtpuser (see sendemail.identity). |
|
-- |
|
+ |
|
However, --smtp-user always overrides these variables. |
|
+ |
|
If a username is not specified (with --smtp-user or a |
|
configuration variable), then authentication is not attempted. |
|
|
|
--smtp-pass:: |
|
Password for SMTP-AUTH. The argument is optional: If no |
|
argument is specified, then the empty string is used as |
|
the password. |
|
+ |
|
In place of this option, the following configuration variables |
|
can be specified: |
|
+ |
|
-- |
|
* sendemail.smtppass |
|
* sendemail.<identity>.smtppass (see sendemail.identity). |
|
-- |
|
+ |
|
However, --smtp-pass always overrides these variables. |
|
+ |
|
Furthermore, passwords need not be specified in configuration files |
|
or on the command line. If a username has been specified (with |
|
--smtp-user or a configuration variable), but no password has been |
|
specified (with --smtp-pass or a configuration variable), then the |
|
user is prompted for a password while the input is masked for privacy. |
|
|
|
--smtp-encryption:: |
|
Specify the encryption to use, either 'ssl' or 'tls'. Any other |
|
value reverts to plain SMTP. Default is the value of |
|
'sendemail.smtpencryption'. |
|
|
|
--smtp-ssl:: |
|
Legacy alias for '--smtp-encryption=ssl'. |
|
|
|
--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:: |
|
--no-suppress-from:: |
|
If this is set, do not add the From: address to the cc: list. |
|
Default is the value of 'sendemail.suppressfrom' configuration value; |
|
if that is unspecified, default to --no-suppress-from. |
|
|
|
--suppress-cc:: |
|
Specify an additional category of recipients to suppress the |
|
auto-cc of. 'self' will avoid including the sender, 'author' will |
|
avoid including the patch author, 'cc' will avoid including anyone |
|
mentioned in Cc lines in the patch, 'sob' will avoid including |
|
anyone mentioned in Signed-off-by lines, and 'cccmd' will avoid |
|
running the --cc-cmd. 'all' will suppress all auto cc values. |
|
Default is the value of 'sendemail.suppresscc' configuration value; |
|
if that is unspecified, default to 'self' if --suppress-from is |
|
specified, as well as 'sob' if --no-signed-off-cc is specified. |
|
|
|
--thread:: |
|
--no-thread:: |
|
If this is set, the In-Reply-To header will be set on each email sent. |
|
If disabled with "--no-thread", no emails will have the In-Reply-To |
|
header set. |
|
Default is the value of the 'sendemail.thread' configuration value; |
|
if that is unspecified, default to --thread. |
|
|
|
--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. |
|
Default is the value of the 'sendemail.to' configuration value; |
|
if that is unspecified, this will be prompted for. |
|
+ |
|
The --to option must be repeated for each user you want on the to list. |
|
|
|
|
|
CONFIGURATION |
|
------------- |
|
sendemail.identity:: |
|
The default configuration identity. When specified, |
|
'sendemail.<identity>.<item>' will have higher precedence than |

|
identities and to hoist sensitive authentication information |
|
out of the repository and into the global configuration file. |
|
|
|
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'. |

Email address (or alias) to always bcc. |
|
|
|
sendemail.chainreplyto:: |
|

Default SMTP-AUTH username. |
|
|
|

|
appropriate port), or 'tls' for TLS. Takes precedence over |
|
'smtpssl' if both are specified. |
