The easiest way for sending git mails without <code>git send-email</code> is using <code>msmtp</code>. You can install it from the repository by doing: </p> <div class="example"> <pre class="example">$ cpt b msmtp && cpt i msmtp </pre></div> <p>You can then edit <samp>~/.config/msmtp/config</samp> to add your email. Here is an example configuration, you can use <code>pass</code>, <code>pash</code>, or any other password manager that fits your needs: </p> <div class="example"> <pre class="example">defaults auth on tls on tls_trust_file /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt logfile ~/.config/msmtp/msmtp.log account my-mail host mail.example.com port 587 from me@example.com user me@example.com passwordeval "pass my-mail" </pre></div> <p>In order to simply send your patch, do the following: </p> <div class="example"> <pre class="example">$ git format-patch --to=~carbslinux/dev+subscribe@lists.sr.ht -1 --stdout | msmtp -t -a my-mail </pre></div> <p>You can also send multiple patches by doing the following: </p> <div class="example"> <pre class="example">$ git format-patch --to=~carbslinux/dev+subscribe@lists.sr.ht <region> Edit those files as necessary and send them. $ for file in *.patch; do msmtp -t -a my-mail < $patch; done </pre></div> </body> </html>
