💌 GUILT-PATCHBOMB(1) — bestie edition 💌

okay so this is guilt-patchbomb, and it lives in the Guilt Manual (that's the manual name, we're folding it in here because we're cozy like that 🫶). it's section 1. it emails a whole series of commits. interactively. yes literally it asks you questions. slay.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

guilt patchbomb [-n] [-s] [--in-reply-to <msgid>] [--git]
[--subject-prefix <prefix>] [<hash> | <since>..[<until>] | ..<until>]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so here's the vibe: this sends a series of commits out via email, and it asks you for To, CC, and all the other little details interactively. like, it will genuinely talk to you. it's giving personal assistant energy but for patch bombs 💅

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -n — don't send. that's it. it just doesn't send. a dry run, a dress rehearsal, a vibe check without consequences 🙈
  • -s — don't add additional repository committer sign-offs to the patch. this lets the sign-off chain be fully expressed in the commit messages and not changed by the act of sending a patchbomb. so the chain stays exactly as the commits wrote it, untouched, no extra seasoning ✨
  • --in-reply-to <msgid> — sets the In-reply-to header to the message id you specify. this means your patches can be sent as replies to an arbitrary message. any message. a random one. go wild 🦋
  • --git — generates a patch that uses all the features offered by the git diff format, like rename and copy detection. fancy format, fancy patch, iconic 👑
  • --subject-prefix <prefix> — instead of the standard [PATCH] prefix in the subject line, use [<prefix>] instead. your subject, your rules, your branding 💖
  • <hash> — only the specified revision. just the one. one single revision, no more no less 🍓
  • <since>..[<until>] — revisions starting from <since> until <until>. careful bestie: the <since> revision itself is NOT included, while <until> is. if <until> isn't specified, it's assumed to be HEAD. so it's a lil asymmetric, iykyk 😭
  • ..<until> — all revisions until the <until> revision, and yes, inclusive. everything up to that point, periodt 💅
