Hi, I’m trying to test my `git send-email` on Mac but I’m getting this issue:
```
~/email-test-drive master ⇡
❯ git send-email --to="~sircmpwn/email-test-drive@lists.sr.ht" HEAD^
zsh: no matches found: HEAD^
~/email-test-drive master ⇡
❯ git send-email --to="~sircmpwn/email-test-drive@lists.sr.ht" ^HEAD
README.md
ben-buhse
drew-devault
No subject line in README.md? at /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools
/usr/libexec/git-core/git-send-email line 884.
```
I’m wondering if anyone has advice.
Thanks,
Ben

On ZSH, you should double-quote (") HEAD^ to keep it from trying to do patterns.

You can also disable extended globbing. If ya aren't comfortable
editing your .zshrc by hand, you can rerun `zsh-newuser-install` or
simply rename your .zshrc to something else and it should run again
next time you open your terminal. That's assuming that macOS doesn't
do something funny.
If you're comfortable editing your .zshrc, you can find the line that
reads `setopt extended_glob` and either comment it out or remove it
entirely.
Another option is to alias git so that extended globbing doesn't affect
it. You would do that by adding the following line to your .zshrc:
alias git="noglob git"

As others have already pointed out, the problem is not with your git
command but with your zsh command. Others have suggested ways to bend
zsh to your will, but I suggest you simply don't use zsh. If you
weren't able to realize the problem was with zsh globbing, you aren't a
zsh power-user. You should stick with a more de-facto solution, ala
bash.
If you _are_ a zsh power-user, then learn more about zsh.

JFTR, instead of HEAD^ you can use HEAD~ which works in zsh with
extended globbing enabled. They both mean the same.
You can also use @~ instead of HEAD~ if you are lazy. @ is a shortcut
for HEAD.
See man 1 git-rev-parse section SPECIFYING REVISIONS for all details.
