+Creating commit links to lore.kernel.org
38
+----------------------------------------
39
+
40
+The web site http://lore.kernel.org is meant as a grand archive of all mail
41
+list traffic concerning or influencing the kernel development. Storing archives
42
+of patches here is a recommended practice, and when a maintainer applies a
43
+patch to a subsystem tree, it is a good idea to provide a Link: tag with a
44
+reference back to the lore archive so that people that browse the commit
45
+history can find related discussions and rationale behind a certain change.
46
+The link tag will look like this:
47
+
48
+ Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/<message-id>
49
+
50
+This can be configured to happen automatically any time you issue ``git am``
51
+by adding the following hook into your git:
52
+
53
+.. code-block:: none
54
+
55
+ $ git config am.messageid true
56
+ $ cat >.git/hooks/applypatch-msg <<'EOF'
57
+ #!/bin/sh
58
+ . git-sh-setup
59
+ perl -pi -e 's|^Message-Id:\s*<?([^>]+)>?$|Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/$1|g;' "$1"
60
+ test -x "$GIT_DIR/hooks/commit-msg" &&
61
+ exec "$GIT_DIR/hooks/commit-msg" ${1+"$@"}
62
+ :
63
+ EOF
64
+ $ chmod a+x .git/hooks/applypatch-msg
