| 8 | ||

| 10 | SYNOPSIS | |
| 11 | -------- | |
| 12 | 'git-send-email-script' [options] <file|directory> [... file|directory] | |
| 13 | ||
| 14 | ||
| 15 | ||
| 16 | DESCRIPTION | |
| 17 | ----------- | |
| 18 | Takes the patches given on the command line and emails them out. | |
| 19 | ||
| 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. | |
| 23 | ||
| 24 | The options available are: | |
| 25 | ||
| 26 | --to | |
| 27 | Specify the primary recipient of the emails generated. | |
| 28 | Generally, this will be the upstream maintainer of the | |
| 29 | project involved. | |
| 30 | ||
| 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. | |

52 | --chain-reply-to, --no-chain-reply-to |
| 53 | If this is set, each email will be sent as a reply to the previous | |
| 54 | email sent. If disabled with "--no-chain-reply-to", all emails after | |
| 55 | the first will be sent as replies to the first email sent. When using | |
| 56 | this, it is recommended that the first file given be an overview of the | |
| 57 | entire patch series. | |
| 58 | Default is --chain-reply-to | |
| 59 | ||
