The commandline is git send-email --to=... --cc=... --cc=... ... <base> or git send-email --to=... --cc=... --cc=... ... <base>..<end> <base> is the commit you based your changes on. So you usually do git checkout -b my-fix master <hack hack hack> git send-email ... master..my-fix Then the receiver can simply pipe the email(s) to 'git am' to apply the changes. Of course git send-email is not mandatory, but if you use it, you can be sure that the patch will be applicable without further processing.
