Hmm, I always just the 'git send-email' snippet from example here: https://lore.kernel.org/git/xmqqbjilo6h9.fsf@gitster.g/, which for this message is:

  git send-email \
    --in-reply-to=xmqqbjilo6h9.fsf@gitster.g \

Fair point, but I always always use GitGitGadget to submit patches to here, I'm sure sure if there is a way to do that from there?

I just write '/submit' to create the whole patch: https://github.com/git/git/pull/2138#issuecomment-3785055635
