<p>As mentioned, the preferred way of contribution is via patches. 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 &amp;&amp; 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 &quot;pass my-mail&quot;
</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 &lt;region&gt;

Edit those files as necessary and send them.
$ for file in *.patch; do msmtp -t -a my-mail &lt; $patch; done
</pre></div>
