GIT-BUGREPORT(1) Git Manual GIT-BUGREPORT(1)
NAME
git-bugreport - Collect information for user to file a bug report
SYNOPSIS
git bugreport [(-o | --output-directory) <path>] [(-s | --suffix) <format>]
[--diagnose[=<mode>]]
DESCRIPTION
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
Additional information may be gathered into a separate zip archive
using the --diagnose option, and can be attached alongside the
bugreport document to provide additional context to readers.
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.
OPTIONS
-o <path>, --output-directory <path>
Place the resulting bug report file in <path> instead of the
current directory.
-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.
--no-diagnose, --diagnose[=<mode>]
Create a zip archive of supplemental information about the user’s
machine, Git client, and repository state. The archive is written
to the same output directory as the bug report and is named
git-diagnostics-<formatted suffix>.
Without mode specified, the diagnostic archive will contain the
default set of statistics reported by git diagnose. An optional
mode value may be specified to change which information is included
in the archive. See git-diagnose(1) for the list of valid values
for mode and details about their usage.
