| 4 | v0.12.1, February 2007 | |

| 6 | NAME | |
| 7 | ---- | |
| 8 | stg-new - stgdesc:new[] | |
| 9 | ||
| 10 | SYNOPSIS | |
| 11 | -------- | |
| 12 | stg new [OPTIONS] <name> | |
| 13 | ||
| 14 | DESCRIPTION | |
| 15 | ----------- | |
| 16 | ||
| 17 | Create a new, empty patch with the given <name> on the current stack. | |
| 18 | The new patch is created on top of the currently applied patches, and | |
| 19 | is made the new top of the stack. The local changes in the working | |
| 20 | tree are not included in the patch. A stglink:refresh[] command is | |
| 21 | needed for this. | |
| 22 | ||
| 23 | An editor will be launched to edit the commit message to be used for | |
| 24 | the patch, unless the '--message' flag already specified one. The | |
| 25 | 'patchdescr.tmpl' template file is used if available to pre-fill the | |
| 26 | editor. The editor to use is taken from the first of the following | |
| 27 | sources of information, and defaults to 'vi': | |
| 28 | ||
| 29 | . the 'stgit.editor' GIT configuration variable | |
| 30 | . the 'EDITOR' environment variable | |
| 31 | ||
| 32 | The message and other GIT commit attributes can be modified later | |
| 33 | using stglink:refresh[]. | |
| 34 | ||
| 35 | AUTHOR AND COMMITTER INFORMATION | |
| 36 | -------------------------------- | |
| 37 | ||
| 38 | The author name (resp. email) to record in the StGIT patch is taken | |
| 39 | from the first of the following sources for the information: | |
| 40 | ||
| 41 | . the '--authname' (resp. '--authemail') or '--author' flag on command-line | |
| 42 | . the 'GIT_AUTHOR_NAME' (resp. 'GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL') environment variable | |
| 43 | . the 'user.name' (resp. 'user.email') GIT configuration variable | |
| 44 | ||
| 45 | Similarly, the committer name (resp. email) is taken from the first of | |
| 46 | the following sources: | |
| 47 | ||
| 48 | . the '--commname' (resp. '--commemail') flag on command-line | |
| 49 | . the 'GIT_COMMITTER_NAME' (resp. 'GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL') environment variable | |
| 50 | . the 'user.name' (resp. 'user.email') GIT configuration variable | |
| 51 | ||
| 52 | The GIT commit generated by stglink:refresh[] will use these | |
| 53 | informations when available. If one of them is not available, GIT | |
| 54 | will pick the value from your machine's configuration at that time, as | |
| 55 | described in gitlink:git-commit-tree[1]. | |
| 56 | ||
| 57 | OPTIONS | |
| 58 | ------- | |
| 59 | ||
| 60 | <name>:: | |
| 61 | The short name that will be used as to identify the patch in | |
| 62 | other StGIT commands. Must be unique in the stack. May only | |
| 63 | contain alphanumeric characters, dashes and underscores. | |
| 64 | ||
| 65 | --message=<message>:: | |

| 68 | ||
| 69 | --showpatch:: | |

| 73 | ||
| 74 | --author="Name <email@company>":: | |
| 75 | -a "Name <email@company>":: | |
| 76 | Use "Name <email@company>" as the author details. This form | |
| 77 | sets both 'authname' and 'authemail'. | |
