git-send-email: Send a given commit.
$ git send-email -1 ${commit}
try on your machine
The command "git send-email -1 ${commit}" is used to send a patch as an email. Here's how the different parts of the command work:
- "git send-email" is the command itself, which initiates the process of sending email with the patch.
- "-1" is an option that specifies to send just one specific commit. It tells git send-email to take the commit identified by the ${commit} variable.
- "${commit}" is a placeholder for the commit ID or reference that you want to send via email. It could be a full commit SHA, a branch name, or any other valid reference that identifies a commit.
In summary, the command "git send-email -1 ${commit}" sends an email with the patch representing the specified commit.
