| NAME | |
| ---- | |
| git-send-email-script - Send a collection of patches as emails | |
| SYNOPSIS | |
| -------- | |
| 'git-send-email-script' [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. | |
| 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. | |
