NAME

6       stg-new - Create a new, empty patch
7

SYNOPSIS

9       stg new [options] [--] [<name>]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       Create a new, empty patch on the current stack. The new patch is
13       created on top of the currently applied patches, and is made the new
14       top of the stack. Uncommitted changes in the work tree are not included
15       in the patch — that is handled by stg-refresh(1).
16
17       The given name must be unique in the stack, and may only contain
18       alphanumeric characters, dashes and underscores. If no name is given,
19       one is generated from the first line of the patch’s commit message.
20
21       An editor will be launched to edit the commit message to be used for
22       the patch, unless the --message flag already specified one. The
23       patchdescr.tmpl template file (if available) is used to pre-fill the
24       editor.
25

OPTIONS

27       --author "NAME <EMAIL>"
28           Set the author details.
29
30       --authname NAME
31           Set the author name.
32
33       --authemail EMAIL
34           Set the author email.
35
36       --authdate DATE
37           Set the author date.
38
39       -m MESSAGE, --message MESSAGE
40           Use MESSAGE instead of invoking the editor.
41
42       -f FILE, --file FILE
43           Use the contents of FILE instead of invoking the editor. (If FILE
44           is "-", write to stdout.)
45
46       --save-template FILE
47           Instead of running the command, just write the message template to
48           FILE, and exit. (If FILE is "-", write to stdout.)
49
50           When driving StGit from another program, it is often useful to
51           first call a command with --save-template, then let the user edit
52           the message, and then call the same command with --file.
53
54       --sign
55           Add a "Signed-off-by:" to the end of the patch.
56
57       --ack
58           Add an "Acked-by:" line to the end of the patch.
59
60       --review
61           Add a "Reviewed-by:" line to the end of the patch.
62
63       --no-verify
64           This option bypasses the commit-msg hook.
