If you need to explain the patches, be sure to include the explanations also in the commit messages, because the cover letter text won't be recorded in the git history.

#Mac ask for git global config email every time Patch#

You can add write some introduction to the patch set in the cover letter. The -cover-letter option creates an extra mail that will be sent before the actual patch mails. Sending the last 10 commits in the current branch: git send-email -10 -cover-letter -annotate Sending some other commit: git send-email -1 Sending the last commit in the current branch: git send-email -1

The mail headers are visible above the question, so that you can check that everything looks OK.

Don't send patches as replies to regular discussion, that makes it harder to keep track of the patches.

As noted above, patches should be sent to our mailing list: Message-ID to be used as In-Reply-To for the first email?.

You should have configured your name and email address earlier, so the default is usually correct.

This will be used as the 'From' header.

Who should the emails appear to be from?.

Type the answer to the question if you don't want to use the default answer. Just press enter to use the default value. Most of the questions have a sensible default value shown in square brackets. Git send-email will ask a few questions before the patches are sent (update: newer git versions ask fewer questions, sometimes no questions at all). I'll go through only the basic usage here.

See 'git send-email -help' for the full reference. If you don't like this, you can avoid this by setting this configuration option (see 'git send-email -help' for the full list of possible values): git config -global sendemail.suppresscc self When you send patches that you have written yourself, this means that a copy of each patch will be sent to your email address. git config sendemail.to sending mail to yourselfД«y default, git send-email will add the author of the patch to the Cc: field. As you may contribute to many projects using git, it does not make sense to set this option globally so instead we'll only set it in our clone of the PulseAudio code. In order to avoid having to remember it and retyping it all the time, you can configure the address to be used by default by git send-email. Configuring the Default Destination AddressДЇor PulseAudio, the patches should be sent to our mailing list. If it's not configured, git send-email will ask it every time the command is used. It's not mandatory to configure the password. Storing the password in the git configuration file is obviously a security risk. Git config -global sendemail.smtppass hackme Git config -global sendemail.smtpuser config -global sendemail.smtpserverport 587 This is how I would configure my mail settings: git config -global sendemail.smtpencryption tls Refer to your email provider documentation to find the right parameters. Git send-email sends the emails through your SMTP server, so you need to configure the server parameters. Git config -global user.email the Mail Sending Options You have probably done this already, but if not, run these commands: git config -global user.name 'My Name' You should tell git your name and email address. Your distribution probably has a package for it on Debian the package name is 'git-email'.

Otherwise, you need to install the send-email command. If it shows the man page for send-email, then send-email is available. You can check if send-email is available by running 'git send-email -help'. You probably already have git already installed, but that's not necessarily enough to have also the send-email command available.
