is used in Git to send a patch or a series of patches as an email.
Here is the breakdown of the command and its options:
git send-email
: This is the main command used to send patches by email.-1
: This option specifies that you want to send a single patch. It refers to the most recent commit in your Git repository.
When you run this command, Git will open your default email client and populate it with the necessary email fields (such as recipient, subject, and body). The email will contain the patch or series of patches, making it easier for you to send contributions to projects that accept patches via email.
