7 git-send-email-script - Send a collection of patches as emails
10 SYNOPSIS
11 --------
12 'git-send-email-script' [options] <file|directory> [... file|directory]
16 DESCRIPTION
17 -----------
18 Takes the patches given on the command line and emails them out.
20 The header of the email is configurable by command line options. If not
21 specified on the command line, the user will be prompted with a ReadLine
22 enabled interface to provide the necessary information.
24 The options available are:
26 --to
27 Specify the primary recipient of the emails generated.
28 Generally, this will be the upstream maintainer of the
29 project involved.
31 --from
32 Specify the sender of the emails. This will default to
33 the value GIT_COMMITTER_IDENT, as returned by "git-var -l".
34 The user will still be prompted to confirm this entry.
36 --subject
37 Specify the initial subject of the email thread.
39 --in-reply-to
40 Specify the contents of the first In-Reply-To header.
41 Subsequent emails will refer to the previous email
42 instead of this.
43 When overriding on the command line, it may be necessary
44 to set this to a space. For example
45 --in-reply-to=" "
47 --chain-reply-to, --no-chain-reply-to
48 If this is set, each email will be sent as a reply to the previous
49 email sent. If disabled with "--no-chain-reply-to", all emails after
50 the first will be sent as replies to the first email sent. When using
51 this, it is recommended that the first file given be an overview of the
52 entire patch series.
53 Default is --chain-reply-to
55 --smtp-server
56 If set, specifies the outgoing SMTP server to use. Defaults to
57 localhost.
