Git git send-email Sending patches by mail
Example
Suppose you’ve got a lot of commit against a project (here ulogd2, official branch is git-svn) and that you wan to send your patchset to the Mailling list [email protected]. To do so, just open a shell at the root of the git directory and use:
git format-patch --stat -p --raw --signoff --subject-prefix="ULOGD PATCH" -o /tmp/ulogd2/ -n git-svn
git send-email --compose --no-chain-reply-to --to [email protected] /tmp/ulogd2/
First command will create a serie of mail from patches in /tmp/ulogd2/ with statistic report and second will start your editor to compose an introduction mail to the patchset. To avoid awful threaded mail series, one can use :
git config sendemail.chainreplyto false
