22 git-send-email \- Send a collection of patches as emails
26 \fIgit\-send\-email\fR [options] <file|directory> [... file|directory]
31 Takes the patches given on the command line and emails them out\&.
34 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\&.
39 The options available are:
43 Specify a starting "Cc:" value for each email\&.
46 \-\-chain\-reply\-to, \-\-no\-chain\-reply\-to
47 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
51 Use $EDITOR to edit an introductory message for the patch series\&.
55 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\&.
59 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\&.
62 \-\-no\-signed\-off\-by\-cc
63 Do not add emails foudn in Signed\-off\-by: lines to the cc list\&.
67 Make git\-send\-email less verbose\&. One line per email should be all that is output\&.
71 If set, specifies the outgoing SMTP server to use\&. Defaults to localhost\&.
75 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\&.
79 Do not add the From: address to the cc: list, if it shows up in a From: line\&.
83 Specify the primary recipient of the emails generated\&. Generally, this will be the upstream maintainer of the project involved\&.
