git-send-email - Send a collection of patches as emails
|
|
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
'git send-email' [options] <file|directory|rev-list options>...
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
There are two formats accepted for patch files:
|
|
|
|
1. mbox format files
|
|
+
|
|
This is what linkgit:git-format-patch[1] generates. Most headers and MIME
|
|
formatting are ignored.
|
|
|
|
2. The original format used by Greg Kroah-Hartman's 'send_lots_of_email.pl'
|
|
script
|
|
+
|
|
This format expects the first line of the file to contain the "Cc:" value
|
|
and the "Subject:" of the message as the second line.
|
|
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
Composing
|
|
~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
--bcc::
|
|
Specify a "Bcc:" value for each email. Default is the value of
|
|
'sendemail.bcc'.
|
|
+
|
|
The --bcc option must be repeated for each user you want on the bcc list.
|
|
|
|
--cc::
|
|
Specify a starting "Cc:" value for each email.
|
|
Default is the value of 'sendemail.cc'.
|
|
+
|
|
The --cc option must be repeated for each user you want on the cc list.
|
|
|
|
--annotate::
|
|
Review each patch you're about to send in an editor. The setting
|
|
'sendemail.multiedit' defines if this will spawn one editor per patch
|
|
or one for all of them at once.
|
|
|
|
--compose::
|
|
Use $GIT_EDITOR, core.editor, $VISUAL, or $EDITOR to edit an
|
|
introductory message for the patch series.
|
|
+
|
|
When '--compose' is used, git send-email gets less interactive will use the
|
|
values of the headers you set there. If the body of the email (what you type
|
|
after the headers and a blank line) only contains blank (or GIT: prefixed)
|
|
lines, the summary won't be sent, but git-send-email will still use the
|
|
Headers values if you don't removed them.
|
|
+
|
|
If it wasn't able to see a header in the summary it will ask you about it
|
|
interactively after quitting your editor.
|
|
|
|
--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.
|
|
|
|
--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.
|
|
|
|
--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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sending
|
|
~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
--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. Default is the value of
|
|
the 'sendemail.envelopesender' configuration variable; if that is
|
|
unspecified, choosing the envelope sender is left to your MTA.
|
|
|
|
--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-pass::
|
|
Password for SMTP-AUTH. The argument is optional: If no
|
|
argument is specified, then the empty string is used as
|
|
the password. Default is the value of 'sendemail.smtppass',
|
|
however '--smtp-pass' always overrides this value.
|
|
+
|
|
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 'sendemail.smtpuser'), but no password has been
|
|
specified (with '--smtp-pass' or 'sendemail.smtppass'), then the
|
|
user is prompted for a password while the input is masked for privacy.
|
|
|
|
--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). This can be set with 'sendemail.smtpserverport'.
|
|
|
|
--smtp-ssl::
|
|
Legacy alias for '--smtp-encryption ssl'.
|
|
|
|
--smtp-user::
|
|
Username for SMTP-AUTH. Default is the value of 'sendemail.smtpuser';
|
|
if a username is not specified (with '--smtp-user' or 'sendemail.smtpuser'),
|
|
then authentication is not attempted.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Automating
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
--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.
|
|
|
|
--[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.
|
|
|
|
--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'.
|
|
|
|
--[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.signedoffbycc' configuration
|
|
value; if that is unspecified, default to --signed-off-by-cc.
|
|
|
|
--suppress-cc::
|
|
Specify an additional category of recipients to suppress the
|
|
auto-cc of:
|
|
+
|
|
--
|
|
- 'author' will avoid including the patch author
|
|
- 'self' will avoid including the sender
|
|
- 'cc' will avoid including anyone mentioned in Cc lines in the patch header
|
|
except for self (use 'self' for that).
|
|
- 'ccbody' will avoid including anyone mentioned in Cc lines in the
|
|
patch body (commit message) except for self (use 'self' for that).
|
|
- 'sob' will avoid including anyone mentioned in Signed-off-by lines except
|
|
for self (use 'self' for that).
|
|
- 'cccmd' will avoid running the --cc-cmd.
|
|
- 'body' is equivalent to 'sob' + 'ccbody'
|
|
- '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 'body' if --no-signed-off-cc is specified.
|
|
|
|
--[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.
|
|
|
|
--[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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Administering
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
--confirm::
|
|
Confirm just before sending:
|
|
+
|
|
--
|
|
- 'always' will always confirm before sending
|
|
- 'never' will never confirm before sending
|
|
- 'cc' will confirm before sending when send-email has automatically
|
|
added addresses from the patch to the Cc list
|
|
- 'compose' will confirm before sending the first message when using --compose.
|
|
- 'auto' is equivalent to 'cc' + 'compose'
|
|
--
|
|
+
|
|
Default is the value of 'sendemail.confirm' configuration value; if that
|
|
is unspecified, default to 'auto' unless any of the suppress options
|
|
have been specified, in which case default to 'compose'.
|
|
|
|
--dry-run::
|
|
Do everything except actually send the emails.
|
|
|
|
--quiet::
|
|
Make git-send-email less verbose. One line per email should be
|
|
all that is output.
|
|
|
|
--[no-]validate::
|
|
Perform sanity checks on patches.
|
|
Currently, validation means the following:
|
|
+
|
|
--
|
|
* Warn of patches that contain lines longer than 998 characters; this
|
|
is due to SMTP limits as described by http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2821.txt.
|
|
--
|
|
+
|
|
Default is the value of 'sendemail.validate'; if this is not set,
|
|
default to '--validate'.
|
|
|
|
--[no-]format-patch::
|
|
When an argument may be understood either as a reference or as a file name,
|
|
choose to understand it as a format-patch argument ('--format-patch')
|
|
or as a file name ('--no-format-patch'). By default, when such a conflict
|
|
occurs, git send-email will fail.
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.multiedit::
|
|
If true (default), a single editor instance will be spawned to edit
|
|
files you have to edit (patches when '--annotate' is used, and the
|
|
summary when '--compose' is used). If false, files will be edited one
|
|
after the other, spawning a new editor each time.
|
|
|
|
sendemail.confirm::
|
|
Sets the default for whether to confirm before sending. Must be
|
|
one of 'always', 'never', 'cc', 'compose', or 'auto'. See '--confirm'
|
|
in the previous section for the meaning of these values.
