Checklist (and a short version for the impatient):
+ Commits:
+
- make commits of logical units
- check for unnecessary whitespace with "git diff --check"
before committing
commit message (or just use the option "-s" when
committing) to confirm that you agree to the Developer's
Certificate of Origin
- - do not PGP sign your patch
+
+ Patch:
+
- use "git format-patch -M" to create the patch
+ - send your patch to <git@vger.kernel.org>. If you use
+ git-send-email(1), please test it first by sending
+ email to yourself.
+ - do not PGP sign your patch
- do not attach your patch, but read in the mail
body, unless you cannot teach your mailer to
leave the formatting of the patch alone.
- provide additional information (which is unsuitable for
the commit message) between the "---" and the diffstat
- send the patch to the list _and_ the maintainer
+ - if you change, add, or remove a command line option or
+ make some other user interface change, the associated
+ documentation should be updated as well.
Long version:
The COMMAND is either a name of a Git command (see below) or an alias
as defined in the configuration file (see gitlink:git-config[1]).
+ Formatted and hyperlinked version of the latest git
+ documentation can be viewed at
+ `http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/`.
