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>]


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

       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.
