\r
280 <h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>
\r
281 <div class="sectionbody">
\r
282 <p>Prepare each commit between <since> and <until> with its patch in
\r
283 one file per commit, formatted to resemble UNIX mailbox format.
\r
284 If ..<until> is not specified, the head of the current working
\r
285 tree is implied.</p>
\r
286 <p>The output of this command is convenient for e-mail submission or
\r
287 for use with <a href="git-am.html">git-am(1)</a>.</p>
\r
288 <p>Each output file is numbered sequentially from 1, and uses the
\r
289 first line of the commit message (massaged for pathname safety) as
\r
290 the filename. The names of the output files are printed to standard
\r
291 output, unless the --stdout option is specified.</p>
\r
292 <p>If -o is specified, output files are created in <dir>. Otherwise
\r
293 they are created in the current working directory.</p>
\r
294 <p>If -n is specified, instead of "[PATCH] Subject", the first line
\r
295 is formatted as "[PATCH n/m] Subject".</p>
\r
298 <div class="sectionbody">
\r
301 -o|--output-directory <dir>
\r
305 Use <dir> to store the resulting files, instead of the
\r
306 current working directory. This option is ignored if
\r
307 --stdout is specified.
\r
315 Name output in <em>[PATCH n/m]</em> format.
\r
319 --start-number <n>
\r
323 Start numbering the patches at <n> instead of 1.
\r
331 Do not strip/add <em>[PATCH]</em> from the first line of the
\r
332 commit log message.
\r
340 Add <tt>Signed-off-by:</tt> line to the commit message, using
\r
341 the committer identity of yourself.
\r
349 Print all commits to the standard output in mbox format,
\r
350 instead of creating a file for each one.
\r
358 Create attachments instead of inlining patches.
\r
363 <h2>CONFIGURATION</h2>
\r
364 <div class="sectionbody">
\r
365 <p>You can specify extra mail header lines to be added to each
\r
366 message in the repository configuration as follows:</p>
\r
367 <div class="literalblock">
\r
368 <div class="content">
\r
369 <pre><tt>headers = "Organization: git-foo\n"</tt></pre>
\r
373 <div class="sectionbody">
\r
376 git-format-patch -k --stdout R1..R2 | git-am -3 -k
\r
380 Extract commits between revisions R1 and R2, and apply
\r
381 them on top of the current branch using <tt>git-am</tt> to
\r
386 git-format-patch origin
\r
390 Extract all commits which are in the current branch but
\r
391 not in the origin branch. For each commit a separate file
\r
392 is created in the current directory.
\r
396 git-format-patch -M -B origin
\r
400 The same as the previous one. Additionally, it detects
\r
401 and handles renames and complete rewrites intelligently to
\r
402 produce a renaming patch. A renaming patch reduces the
\r
403 amount of text output, and generally makes it easier to
\r
404 review it. Note that the "patch" program does not
\r
405 understand renaming patches, so use it only when you know
\r
406 the recipient uses git to apply your patch.
