2 Enable multipart/mixed attachments as the default for
3 'format-patch'. The value can also be a double quoted string
4 which will enable attachments as the default and set the
5 value as the boundary. See the --attach option in
6 linkgit:git-format-patch[1]. To countermand an earlier
7 value, set it to an empty string.
10 Provides the default value for the `--from` option to format-patch.
11 Accepts a boolean value, or a name and email address. If false,
12 format-patch defaults to `--no-from`, using commit authors directly in
13 the "From:" field of patch mails. If true, format-patch defaults to
14 `--from`, using your committer identity in the "From:" field of patch
15 mails and including a "From:" field in the body of the patch mail if
16 different. If set to a non-boolean value, format-patch uses that
17 value instead of your committer identity. Defaults to false.
19 format.forceInBodyFrom::
20 Provides the default value for the `--[no-]force-in-body-from`
21 option to format-patch. Defaults to false.
24 A boolean which can enable or disable sequence numbers in patch
25 subjects. It defaults to "auto" which enables it only if there
26 is more than one patch. It can be enabled or disabled for all
27 messages by setting it to "true" or "false". See --numbered
28 option in linkgit:git-format-patch[1].
31 Additional email headers to include in a patch to be submitted
32 by mail. See linkgit:git-format-patch[1].
36 Additional recipients to include in a patch to be submitted
37 by mail. See the --to and --cc options in
38 linkgit:git-format-patch[1].
40 format.subjectPrefix::
41 The default for format-patch is to output files with the '[PATCH]'
42 subject prefix. Use this variable to change that prefix.
44 format.coverFromDescription::
45 The default mode for format-patch to determine which parts of
46 the cover letter will be populated using the branch's
47 description. See the `--cover-from-description` option in
48 linkgit:git-format-patch[1].
51 The default for format-patch is to output a signature containing
52 the Git version number. Use this variable to change that default.
53 Set this variable to the empty string ("") to suppress
56 format.signatureFile::
57 Works just like format.signature except the contents of the
58 file specified by this variable will be used as the signature.
61 The default for format-patch is to output files with the suffix
62 `.patch`. Use this variable to change that suffix (make sure to
63 include the dot if you want it).
65 format.encodeEmailHeaders::
66 Encode email headers that have non-ASCII characters with
67 "Q-encoding" (described in RFC 2047) for email transmission.
71 The default pretty format for log/show/whatchanged command,
72 See linkgit:git-log[1], linkgit:git-show[1],
73 linkgit:git-whatchanged[1].
76 The default threading style for 'git format-patch'. Can be
77 a boolean value, or `shallow` or `deep`. `shallow` threading
78 makes every mail a reply to the head of the series,
79 where the head is chosen from the cover letter, the
80 `--in-reply-to`, and the first patch mail, in this order.
81 `deep` threading makes every mail a reply to the previous one.
82 A true boolean value is the same as `shallow`, and a false
83 value disables threading.
86 A boolean value which lets you enable the `-s/--signoff` option of
87 format-patch by default. *Note:* Adding the `Signed-off-by` trailer to a
88 patch should be a conscious act and means that you certify you have
89 the rights to submit this work under the same open source license.
90 Please see the 'SubmittingPatches' document for further discussion.
93 A boolean that controls whether to generate a cover-letter when
94 format-patch is invoked, but in addition can be set to "auto", to
95 generate a cover-letter only when there's more than one patch.
98 format.outputDirectory::
99 Set a custom directory to store the resulting files instead of the
100 current working directory. All directory components will be created.
102 format.filenameMaxLength::
103 The maximum length of the output filenames generated by the
104 `format-patch` command; defaults to 64. Can be overridden
105 by the `--filename-max-length=<n>` command line option.
108 A boolean value which lets you enable the `--base=auto` option of
109 format-patch by default. Can also be set to "whenAble" to allow
110 enabling `--base=auto` if a suitable base is available, but to skip
111 adding base info otherwise without the format dying.
114 Provides the default value for the `--notes` option to
115 format-patch. Accepts a boolean value, or a ref which specifies
116 where to get notes. If false, format-patch defaults to
117 `--no-notes`. If true, format-patch defaults to `--notes`. If
118 set to a non-boolean value, format-patch defaults to
119 `--notes=<ref>`, where `ref` is the non-boolean value. Defaults
122 If one wishes to use the ref `ref/notes/true`, please use that literal
125 This configuration can be specified multiple times in order to allow
126 multiple notes refs to be included. In that case, it will behave
127 similarly to multiple `--[no-]notes[=]` options passed in. That is, a
128 value of `true` will show the default notes, a value of `<ref>` will
129 also show notes from that notes ref and a value of `false` will negate
130 previous configurations and not show notes.
142 will only show notes from `refs/notes/bar`.
145 A boolean value which enables the robust "mboxrd" format when
146 `--stdout` is in use to escape "^>+From " lines.
