|
|
|

|
|
- Start a new patch series branch forked from a specific point:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`b4 prep {{[-n|--new]}} {{series_name}} {{[-f|--fork-point]}} {{fork_point}}`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Edit the cover letter for the current series:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`b4 prep --edit-cover`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Automatically populate the cover letter with recipients from commit trailers and maintainer files:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`b4 prep {{[-c|--auto-to-cc]}}`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Run local checks (e.g., `checkpatch.pl`) on the series:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`b4 prep --check`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Enroll an existing branch as a b4-prep-managed branch:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`b4 prep {{[-e|--enroll]}} {{base_branch}}`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Archive and clean up an obsolete prep-managed branch:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`b4 prep --cleanup {{branch_name}}`
|
