6 git-bugreport - Collect information for user to file a bug report
7
9 git bugreport [(-o | --output-directory) <path>] [(-s | --suffix) <format>]
10
12 Captures information about the user’s machine, Git client, and
13 repository state, as well as a form requesting information about the
14 behavior the user observed, into a single text file which the user can
15 then share, for example to the Git mailing list, in order to report an
16 observed bug.
17
18 The following information is requested from the user:
19
20 • Reproduction steps
21
22 • Expected behavior
23
24 • Actual behavior
25
26 The following information is captured automatically:
27
28 • git version --build-options
29
30 • uname sysname, release, version, and machine strings
31
32 • Compiler-specific info string
33
34 • A list of enabled hooks
35
36 • $SHELL
37
38 This tool is invoked via the typical Git setup process, which means
39 that in some cases, it might not be able to launch - for example, if a
40 relevant config file is unreadable. In this kind of scenario, it may be
41 helpful to manually gather the kind of information listed above when
42 manually asking for help.
43
45 -o <path>, --output-directory <path>
46 Place the resulting bug report file in <path> instead of the root
47 of the Git repository.
48
49 -s <format>, --suffix <format>
50 Specify an alternate suffix for the bugreport name, to create a
51 file named git-bugreport-<formatted suffix>. This should take the
52 form of a strftime(3) format string; the current local time will be
53 used.
