GIT-MAILINFO(1) Git Manual GIT-MAILINFO(1)
NAME
git-mailinfo - Extracts patch and authorship from a single e-mail message
SYNOPSIS
git mailinfo [-k|-b] [-u | --encoding=<encoding> | -n] [--scissors] <msg> <patch>
DESCRIPTION
Reads a single e-mail message from the standard input, and writes the commit log message
in <msg> file, and the patches in <patch> file. The author name, e-mail and e-mail subject
are written out to the standard output to be used by git am to create a commit. It is
usually not necessary to use this command directly. See git-am(1) instead.
OPTIONS
-k
Usually the program cleans up the Subject: header line to extract the title line for
the commit log message, among which (1) remove Re: or re:, (2) leading whitespaces,
(3) [ up to ], typically [PATCH], and then prepends "[PATCH] ". This flag forbids this
munging, and is most useful when used to read back git format-patch -k output.
-b
When -k is not in effect, all leading strings bracketed with [ and ] pairs are
stripped. This option limits the stripping to only the pairs whose bracketed string
contains the word "PATCH".
-u
The commit log message, author name and author email are taken from the e-mail, and
after minimally decoding MIME transfer encoding, re-coded in the charset specified by
i18n.commitencoding (defaulting to UTF-8) by transliterating them. This used to be
optional but now it is the default.
Note that the patch is always used as-is without charset conversion, even with this
flag.
--encoding=<encoding>
Similar to -u. But when re-coding, the charset specified here is used instead of the
one specified by i18n.commitencoding or UTF-8.
-n
Disable all charset re-coding of the metadata.
--scissors
Remove everything in body before a scissors line. A line that mainly consists of
scissors (either ">8" or "8<") and perforation (dash "-") marks is called a scissors
line, and is used to request the reader to cut the message at that line. If such a
line appears in the body of the message before the patch, everything before it
(including the scissors line itself) is ignored when this option is used.
This is useful if you want to begin your message in a discussion thread with comments
and suggestions on the message you are responding to, and to conclude it with a patch
submission, separating the discussion and the beginning of the proposed commit log
message with a scissors line.
This can enabled by default with the configuration option mailinfo.scissors.
--no-scissors
Ignore scissors lines. Useful for overriding mailinfo.scissors settings.
<msg>
The commit log message extracted from e-mail, usually except the title line which
comes from e-mail Subject.
<patch>
The patch extracted from e-mail.
