Using the git-send-email Command

Send a collection of patches as emails. Patches can be specified as files, directions, or a revision list. More information: <https://git-scm.com/docs/git-send-email>.

  • Send the last commit in the current branch interactively:

git send-email -1

  • Send a given commit:

git send-email -1 *commit*

  • Send multiple (e.g. 10) commits in the current branch:

git send-email *-10*

  • Send an introductory email message for the patch series:

git send-email -*number_of_commits* --compose

  • Review and edit the email message for each patch you’re about to send:

git send-email -*number_of_commits* --annotate
