GIT-BUGREPORT(1) Git Manual GIT-BUGREPORT(1)
git-bugreport - Collect information for user to file a bug report
git bugreport [(-o | --output-directory) <path>] [(-s | --suffix) <format>]
Captures information about the user’s machine, Git client, and
repository state, as well as a form requesting information about the
behavior the user observed, into a single text file which the user
can then share, for example to the Git mailing list, in order to
report an observed bug.
The following information is requested from the user:
· Reproduction steps
· Expected behavior
· Actual behavior
The following information is captured automatically:
· git version --build-options
· uname sysname, release, version, and machine strings
· Compiler-specific info string
· A list of enabled hooks
· $SHELL
This tool is invoked via the typical Git setup process, which means
that in some cases, it might not be able to launch - for example, if
a relevant config file is unreadable. In this kind of scenario, it
may be helpful to manually gather the kind of information listed
above when manually asking for help.
-o <path>, --output-directory <path>
Place the resulting bug report file in <path> instead of the root
of the Git repository.
-s <format>, --suffix <format>
Specify an alternate suffix for the bugreport name, to create a
file named git-bugreport-<formatted suffix>. This should take the
form of a strftime(3) format string; the current local time will
be used.
