<h2 id="_description">DESCRIPTION</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<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 git send-email.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>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.</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 <em>send_lots_of_email.pl</em>
script
</p>
<div class="paragraph"><p>This format expects the first line of the file to contain the "Cc:" value
and the "Subject:" of the message as the second line.</p></div>

<h3 id="_composing">Composing</h3>
<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 <em>sendemail.annotate</em>. See the CONFIGURATION section for
<em>sendemail.multiedit</em>.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
--bcc=<address>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Specify a "Bcc:" value for each email. Default is the value of
<em>sendemail.bcc</em>.
</p>
<div class="paragraph"><p>The --bcc option must be repeated for each user you want on the bcc list.</p></div>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
--cc=<address>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Specify a starting "Cc:" value for each email.
Default is the value of <em>sendemail.cc</em>.
</p>
<div class="paragraph"><p>The --cc option must be repeated for each user you want on the cc list.</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 <em>--compose</em> is used, git send-email will use the From, Subject, and
In-Reply-To 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 Git: prefixed) lines the summary won’t be sent, but From, Subject,
and In-Reply-To headers will be used unless they are removed.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Missing From or In-Reply-To headers will be prompted for.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>See the CONFIGURATION section for <em>sendemail.multiedit</em>.</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 <em>sendemail.from</em> configuration option is used. If
neither the command line option nor <em>sendemail.from</em> are set, then the
user will be prompted for the value. The default for the prompt will be
the value of GIT_AUTHOR_IDENT, or GIT_COMMITTER_IDENT if that is not
set, as returned by "git var -l".
</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>--[no]-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 v2 0/3]</code> is in reply to <code>[PATCH 0/2]</code>:</p></div>
<div class="literalblock">
<div class="content">

<div class="paragraph"><p>Only necessary if --compose is also set. If --compose
is not set, this will be prompted for.</p></div>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
--subject=<string>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>

Only necessary if --compose is also set. If --compose
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 <em>sendemail.to</em> configuration value; if that is unspecified,
and --to-cmd is not specified, this will be prompted for.
</p>
<div class="paragraph"><p>The --to option must be repeated for each user you want on the to list.</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
<em>sendemail.assume8bitEncoding</em>; 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
<em>sendemail.composeencoding</em>; if that is unspecified, UTF-8 is assumed.
</p>
</dd>
</dl></div>
</div>
<div class="sect2">
<h3 id="_sending">Sending</h3>
<div class="dlist"><dl>
<dt class="hdlist1">
--envelope-sender=<address>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Specify the envelope sender used to send the emails.
This is useful if your default address is not the address that is
subscribed to a list. In order to use the <em>From</em> address, set the
value to "auto". If you use the sendmail binary, you must have
suitable privileges for the -f parameter. Default is the value of the
<em>sendemail.envelopesender</em> configuration variable; if that is
unspecified, choosing the envelope sender is left to your MTA.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
--smtp-encryption=<encryption>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Specify the encryption to use, either <em>ssl</em> or <em>tls</em>. Any other

<em>sendemail.smtpencryption</em>.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
--smtp-domain=<FQDN>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Specifies the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) used in the
HELO/EHLO command to the SMTP server. Some servers require the
FQDN to match your IP address. If not set, git send-email attempts
to determine your FQDN automatically. Default is the value of
<em>sendemail.smtpdomain</em>.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
--smtp-pass[=<password>]
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Password for SMTP-AUTH. The argument is optional: If no
argument is specified, then the empty string is used as
the password. Default is the value of <em>sendemail.smtppass</em>,
however <em>--smtp-pass</em> always overrides this value.
</p>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Furthermore, passwords need not be specified in configuration files
or on the command line. If a username has been specified (with
<em>--smtp-user</em> or a <em>sendemail.smtpuser</em>), but no password has been
specified (with <em>--smtp-pass</em> or <em>sendemail.smtppass</em>), then
a password is obtained using <em>git-credential</em>.</p></div>

<dt class="hdlist1">
--smtp-server=<host>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
If set, specifies the outgoing SMTP server to use (e.g.
<code>smtp.example.com</code> or a raw IP address). Alternatively it can
specify a full pathname of a sendmail-like program instead;
the program must support the <code>-i</code> option. Default value can
be specified by the <em>sendemail.smtpserver</em> configuration
option; the built-in default is <code>/usr/sbin/sendmail</code> or
<code>/usr/lib/sendmail</code> if such program is available, or
<code>localhost</code> otherwise.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
--smtp-server-port=<port>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Specifies a port different from the default port (SMTP
servers typically listen to smtp port 25, but may also listen to
submission port 587, or the common SSL smtp port 465);
symbolic port names (e.g. "submission" instead of 587)
are also accepted. The port can also be set with the
<em>sendemail.smtpserverport</em> configuration variable.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
--smtp-server-option=<option>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
If set, specifies the outgoing SMTP server option to use.
Default value can be specified by the <em>sendemail.smtpserveroption</em>
configuration option.
</p>
<div class="paragraph"><p>The --smtp-server-option option must be repeated for each option you want
to pass to the server. Likewise, different lines in the configuration files
must be used for each option.</p></div>

<dd>
<p>
Legacy alias for <em>--smtp-encryption ssl</em>.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
--smtp-user=<user>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Username for SMTP-AUTH. Default is the value of <em>sendemail.smtpuser</em>;
if a username is not specified (with <em>--smtp-user</em> or <em>sendemail.smtpuser</em>),
then authentication is not attempted.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
--smtp-debug=0|1
