You need to install git-email, and if you run X you might also want git-gui. Ensure $GIT_EDITOR|$VISUAL|$EDITOR stays in foreground so that you can edit commit messages, emails, interactive rebases, merges, etc. e.g.: git config --global core.editor 'gvim -f' You should not need LC_ALL=C most places these days, except to get sort, join, uniq to play well together. > Are there any working instructions for newlib contributions to be found > anywhere? Everyone assumes you are comfortable with git and understand its model. Advice I git: cd .../repo git checkout master git pull git checkout -b BRANCH $VISUAL FILE git add FILE git commit FILE ... git format-patch -o PATH/ --stat --cover-letter -#commits $VISUAL PATH/0000-*cover-letter.patch git send-email --compose PATH/000?-*.patch Update branch to the latest upstream master: git checkout master git pull git rebase [-i] master BRANCH ... -- Take care.
