We will get started with installing the required package from apt-get. We can install this by running the command below. Once the installation is success we can configure the sendmail smtp configuration. Since I am planning to use this only for wireguard repo I added these into local config.

Achieved by temporarily disabling of ' config. With Git 2. See commit cae0bc0 , commit dc55 , commit e , commit ad01 , commit 0c47e06 04 Dec by Denton Liu Denton-L.

Merged by Junio C Hamano -- gitster -- in commit 71a7de7 , 16 Dec Fix this by always passing --no-base to format-patch from rebase so that the effect of format. See commit 7efba5f 01 Oct by Jacob Keller jacob-keller. Merged by Junio C Hamano -- gitster -- in commit 5f8c70a , 05 Oct The format. This can sometimes lead to poor workflow, due to unexpected failures when attempting to format an ancient patch:.

This can be very confusing, as it is not necessarily immediately obvious that the user requested a --base since this was in the configuration, not on the command line. This mode will cause format-patch to attempt to include a base commit when it can.

However, if no valid base commit can be found, then format-patch will continue formatting the patch without a base commit.

This does mean that a user cannot request this optional base commit generation from the command line. However, this is likely not too valuable. If the user requests base information manually, they will be immediately informed of the failure to acquire a suitable base commit. This allows the user to make an informed choice about whether to continue the format.

See commit dcd , commit 1eb , commit 4c6f 04 Nov by Jeff King peff. Merged by Junio C Hamano -- gitster -- in commit 5edc8bd , 18 Nov We've never intended to support diff's --output option in format-patch.

But afterwards, we don't check abbreviations, and --output gets passed to the diff code. This results in nonsense behavior and bugs. The diff code will have opened a filehandle at rev. So the --output file will always just be empty. But worse, the diff code also sets rev. The simplest solution would be to just disallow --output with format-patch, as nobody ever intended it to work.

However, we have accidentally documented it because format-patch includes diff-options. And it does work with " git log " man , which writes the whole output to the specified file.

It's easy enough to make that work for format-patch, too: it's really the same as --stdout, but pointed at a specific file.

So we just need to unset that flag, but don't have to do anything else. Our situation is otherwise exactly like --stdout note that we don't fclose the file, but nor does the stdout case; exiting the program takes care of that for us. Home About Patches. How to send patches with git-send-email Posted on October 5, by burzalodowa. This is the recommended way to send patch series to mailing lists. This is also the default so you don't need to set it explicitly.

With --chain-reply-to, each patch will be sent in reply to the previous one deep threading. This is enabled by default. This is particularly useful when you want to send a revised version for a patchset because it won't break the existing thread and will help reviewers to follow up your changes on the patchset.

You can specify the subject either when you directly edit the mail or using the option --subject. That can be helpful in case you want to add a cover-letter to describe, for example, the changes introduced after the last revision of the patchset.

Take in mind that you would need to set explicitly the subject prefix if you use that method other method can be using --cover-letter option with git-format-patch for creating your cover letter e.
