Prepare a new patch series for submission to a mailing list. More information: https://b4.docs.kernel.org/en/latest/contributor/prep.html.
- 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}}
