| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>Takes the patches given on the command line and emails them out. |
| Patches can be specified as files, directories (which will send all |
| files in the directory), or directly as a revision list. In the |
| last case, any format accepted by <a href="git-format-patch.html">git-format-patch(1)</a> can |
| be passed to <code>git</code> <code>send-email</code>, as well as options understood by |
| <a href="git-format-patch.html">git-format-patch(1)</a>.</p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>The header of the email is configurable via 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.</p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>There are two formats accepted for patch files:</p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="olist arabic"> |
| <ol class="arabic"> |
| <li> |
| <p>mbox format files</p> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>This is what <a href="git-format-patch.html">git-format-patch(1)</a> generates. Most headers and MIME |
| formatting are ignored.</p> |
| </div> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <p>The original format used by Greg Kroah-Hartman’s <code>send_lots_of_email.pl</code> |
| script</p> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>This format expects the first line of the file to contain the <code>Cc:</code> value |
| and the <code>Subject:</code> of the message as the second line.</p> |

| <div class="dlist"> |
| <dl> |
| <dt class="hdlist1">--annotate</dt> |
| <dd> |
| <p>Review and edit each patch you’re about to send. Default is the value |
| of <code>sendemail.annotate</code>. See the CONFIGURATION section for |
| <code>sendemail.multiEdit</code>.</p> |
| </dd> |
| <dt class="hdlist1">--bcc=<address>,…​</dt> |
| <dd> |
| <p>Specify a <code>Bcc:</code> value for each email. Default is the value of |
| <code>sendemail.bcc</code>.</p> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>This option may be specified multiple times.</p> |
| </div> |
| </dd> |
| <dt class="hdlist1">--cc=<address>,…​</dt> |
| <dd> |
| <p>Specify a starting <code>Cc:</code> value for each email. |

| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>This option may be specified multiple times.</p> |
| </div> |
| </dd> |
| <dt class="hdlist1">--compose</dt> |
| <dd> |
| <p>Invoke a text editor (see GIT_EDITOR in <a href="git-var.html">git-var(1)</a>) |
| to edit an introductory message for the patch series.</p> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>When <code>--compose</code> is used, <code>git</code> <code>send-email</code> will use the <code>From</code>, <code>To</code>, <code>Cc</code>, |
| <code>Bcc</code>, <code>Subject</code>, <code>Reply-To</code>, and <code>In-Reply-To</code> headers specified in the |
| message. If the body of the message (what you type after the headers and a |
| blank line) only contains blank (or <code>Git:</code> prefixed) lines, the summary won’t be |
| sent, but the headers mentioned above will be used unless they are |
| removed.</p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>Missing <code>From</code> or <code>In-Reply-To</code> headers will be prompted for.</p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>See the CONFIGURATION section for <code>sendemail.multiEdit</code>.</p> |
| </div> |
| </dd> |
| <dt class="hdlist1">--from=<address></dt> |
| <dd> |
| <p>Specify the sender of the emails. If not specified on the command line, |
| the value of the <code>sendemail.from</code> configuration option is used. If |
| neither the command-line option nor <code>sendemail.from</code> are set, then the |
| user will be prompted for the value. The default for the prompt will be |
| the value of <code>GIT_AUTHOR_IDENT</code>, or <code>GIT_COMMITTER_IDENT</code> if that is not |
| set, as returned by <code>git</code> <code>var</code> <code>-l</code>.</p> |
| </dd> |
| <dt class="hdlist1">--reply-to=<address></dt> |
| <dd> |
| <p>Specify the address where replies from recipients should go to. |
| Use this if replies to messages should go to another address than what |
| is specified with the <code>--from</code> parameter.</p> |
| </dd> |
| <dt class="hdlist1">--in-reply-to=<identifier></dt> |
| <dd> |
| <p>Make the first mail (or all the mails with <code>--no-thread</code>) appear as a |
| reply to the given Message-ID, which avoids breaking threads to |
| provide a new patch series. |
| The second and subsequent emails will be sent as replies according to |
| the <code>--</code>[<code>no-</code>]<code>chain-reply-to</code> setting.</p> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>So for example when <code>--thread</code> and <code>--no-chain-reply-to</code> are specified, the |
| second and subsequent patches will be replies to the first one like in the |
| illustration below where [<code>PATCH</code> <code>v2</code> <code>0/3</code>] is in reply to [<code>PATCH</code> <code>0/2</code>]:</p> |

| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>Only necessary if <code>--compose</code> is also set. If <code>--compose</code> |
| is not set, this will be prompted for.</p> |
| </div> |
| </dd> |
| <dt class="hdlist1">--[no-]outlook-id-fix</dt> |
| <dd> |
| <p>Microsoft Outlook SMTP servers discard the Message-ID sent via email and |
| assign a new random Message-ID, thus breaking threads.</p> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>With <code>--outlook-id-fix</code>, <code>git</code> <code>send-email</code> uses a mechanism specific to |
| Outlook servers to learn the Message-ID the server assigned to fix the |
| threading. Use it only when you know that the server reports the |
| rewritten Message-ID the same way as Outlook servers do.</p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>Without this option specified, the fix is done by default when talking |
| to <em>smtp.office365.com</em> or <em>smtp-mail.outlook.com</em>. Use |
| <code>--no-outlook-id-fix</code> to disable even when talking to these two servers.</p> |
| </div> |
| </dd> |
| <dt class="hdlist1">--subject=<string></dt> |
| <dd> |
| <p>Specify the initial subject of the email thread. |
| Only necessary if <code>--compose</code> is also set. If <code>--compose</code> |
| is not set, this will be prompted for.</p> |
| </dd> |
| <dt class="hdlist1">--to=<address>,…​</dt> |
| <dd> |
| <p>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 <code>sendemail.to</code> configuration value; if that is unspecified, |
| and <code>--to-cmd</code> is not specified, this will be prompted for.</p> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>This option may be specified multiple times.</p> |
| </div> |
| </dd> |
| <dt class="hdlist1">--8bit-encoding=<encoding></dt> |
| <dd> |
| <p>When encountering a non-ASCII message or subject that does not |
| declare its encoding, add headers/quoting to indicate it is |
| encoded in <encoding>. Default is the value of the |
| <code>sendemail.assume8bitEncoding</code>; if that is unspecified, this |
| will be prompted for if any non-ASCII files are encountered.</p> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>Note that no attempts whatsoever are made to validate the encoding.</p> |
| </div> |
| </dd> |
| <dt class="hdlist1">--compose-encoding=<encoding></dt> |
| <dd> |
| <p>Specify encoding of compose message. Default is the value of the |
| <code>sendemail.composeEncoding</code>; if that is unspecified, UTF-8 is assumed.</p> |
| </dd> |
| <dt class="hdlist1">--transfer-encoding=(7bit|8bit|quoted-printable|base64|auto)</dt> |
| <dd> |
| <p>Specify the transfer encoding to be used to send the message over SMTP. |
| <code>7bit</code> will fail upon encountering a non-ASCII message. <code>quoted-printable</code> |
| can be useful when the repository contains files that contain carriage |
| returns, but makes the raw patch email file (as saved from an MUA) much |
| harder to inspect manually. <code>base64</code> is even more fool proof, but also |
| even more opaque. <code>auto</code> will use <code>8bit</code> when possible, and |
| <code>quoted-printable</code> otherwise.</p> |

| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>To use <code>git</code> <code>send-email</code> to send your patches through the Gmail SMTP server, |
| edit <code>~/.gitconfig</code> to specify your account settings:</p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="listingblock"> |
| <div class="content"> |
| <pre>[sendemail] |
| smtpEncryption = tls |
| smtpServer = smtp.gmail.com |

| </div> |
| </div> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>Gmail does not allow using your regular password for <code>git</code> <code>send-email</code>. |
| If you have multi-factor authentication set up on your Gmail account, you can |
| generate an app-specific password for use with <code>git</code> <code>send-email</code>. Visit |
| <a href="https://security.google.com/settings/security/apppasswords" class="bare">https://security.google.com/settings/security/apppasswords</a> to create it.</p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>Alternatively, instead of using an app-specific password, you can use |
| OAuth2.0 authentication with Gmail. OAuth2.0 is more secure than |
| app-specific passwords, and works regardless of whether you have multi-factor |
| authentication set up. <code>OAUTHBEARER</code> and <code>XOAUTH2</code> are common mechanisms used |
| for this type of authentication. Gmail supports both of them. As an example, |
| if you want to use <code>OAUTHBEARER</code>, edit your <code>~/.gitconfig</code> file and add |
| <code>smtpAuth</code> <code>=</code> <code>OAUTHBEARER</code> to your account settings:</p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="listingblock"> |
| <div class="content"> |
| <pre>[sendemail] |

| smtpServerPort = 587 |
| smtpAuth = OAUTHBEARER</pre> |
