| 10 | SYNOPSIS |
| 11 | -------- |
| 12 | [verse] |
| 13 | 'stg' new [OPTIONS] [name] |
| 14 | |
| 15 | DESCRIPTION |
| 16 | ----------- |
| 17 | |
| 18 | Create a new, empty patch with the given <name> on the current stack. |
| 19 | The new patch is created on top of the currently applied patches, and |
| 20 | is made the new top of the stack. The local changes in the working |
| 21 | tree are not included in the patch. A stglink:refresh[] command is |
| 22 | needed for this. |
| 23 | |
| 24 | The given <name> must be unique in the stack, and may only contain |
| 25 | alphanumeric characters, dashes and underscores. If no name is given, |
| 26 | one is generated from the first line of the commit message. |
| 27 | |
| 28 | An editor will be launched to edit the commit message to be used for |
| 29 | the patch, unless the '--message' flag already specified one. The |
| 30 | 'patchdescr.tmpl' template file is used if available to pre-fill the |
| 31 | editor. The editor to use is taken from the first of the following |
| 32 | sources of information, and defaults to 'vi': |
| 33 | |
| 34 | . the 'stgit.editor' GIT configuration variable |
| 35 | . the 'EDITOR' environment variable |
| 36 | |
| 37 | The message and other GIT commit attributes can be modified later |
| 38 | using stglink:refresh[]. |
| 39 | |
| 40 | AUTHOR AND COMMITTER INFORMATION |
| 41 | -------------------------------- |
| 42 | |
| 43 | The author name (resp. email) to record in the StGIT patch is taken |
| 44 | from the first of the following sources for the information: |
| 45 | |
| 46 | . the '--authname' (resp. '--authemail') or '--author' flag on command-line |
| 47 | . the 'GIT_AUTHOR_NAME' (resp. 'GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL') environment variable |
| 48 | . the 'user.name' (resp. 'user.email') GIT configuration variable |
| 49 | |
| 50 | Similarly, the committer name (resp. email) is taken from the first of |
| 51 | the following sources: |
| 52 | |
| 53 | . the '--commname' (resp. '--commemail') flag on command-line |
| 54 | . the 'GIT_COMMITTER_NAME' (resp. 'GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL') environment variable |
| 55 | . the 'user.name' (resp. 'user.email') GIT configuration variable |
| 56 | |
| 57 | The GIT commit generated by stglink:refresh[] will use these |
| 58 | informations when available. If one of them is not available, GIT |
| 59 | will pick the value from your machine's configuration at that time, as |
| 60 | described in gitlink:git-commit-tree[1]. |
| 61 | |

| 68 | |
| 69 | --showpatch:: |
| 70 | -s:: |

| 72 | nothing if '-m' is also specified. |
| 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'. |
