NAME¶
stg-edit - Edit a patch description or diffSYNOPSIS¶
stg edit [options] [--] [<patch>]
DESCRIPTION¶
Edit the description and author information of the given patch (or the current patch if no patch name was given). With --diff, also edit the diff. The editor is invoked with the following contents:From: A U Thor <author@example.com> Date: creation date
Patch description
---
Diff text
OPTIONS¶
-d, --diffEdit the patch diff.
-e, --edit
Invoke interactive editor.
--sign
Add a "Signed-off-by:" to the end of the
patch.
--ack
Add an "Acked-by:" line to the end of the
patch.
-m MESSAGE, --message MESSAGE
Use MESSAGE instead of invoking the editor.
-f FILE, --file FILE
Use the contents of FILE instead of invoking the editor.
(If FILE is "-", write to stdout.)
--save-template FILE
Instead of running the command, just write the message
template to FILE, and exit. (If FILE is "-", write to stdout.)
When driving StGit from another program, it is often useful to first call a
command with --save-template, then let the user edit the message, and
then call the same command with --file.
--author "NAME <EMAIL>"
Set the author details.
--authname NAME
Set the author name.
--authemail EMAIL
Set the author email.
--authdate DATE
Set the author date.
