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: |
|
|
|
--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 (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. |
|
|
|
--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'. |
|
|
|
sendemail.bcc:: |
|
Email address (or alias) to always bcc. |
|
|
|
sendemail.chainreplyto:: |
|
Boolean value specifying the default to the '--chain_reply_to' |
|
parameter. |
|
|
|
sendemail.smtpserver:: |
|
Default smtp server to use. |
