git-imap-send(1) |
|
================ |
|
|
|
NAME |
|
---- |
|
git-imap-send - Send a collection of patches from stdin to an IMAP folder |
|
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS |
|
-------- |
|
'git imap-send' |
|
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION |
|
----------- |
|
This command uploads a mailbox generated with 'git-format-patch' |
|
into an IMAP drafts folder. This allows patches to be sent as |
|
other email is when using mail clients that cannot read mailbox |
|
files directly. |
|
|
|
Typical usage is something like: |
|
|
|
git format-patch --signoff --stdout --attach origin | git imap-send |
|
|
|
|
|
CONFIGURATION |
|
------------- |
|
|
|
To use the tool, imap.folder and either imap.tunnel or imap.host must be set |
|
to appropriate values. |
|
|
|
Variables |
|
~~~~~~~~~ |
|
|
|
imap.folder:: |
|
The folder to drop the mails into, which is typically the Drafts |
|
folder. For example: "INBOX.Drafts", "INBOX/Drafts" or |
|
"[Gmail]/Drafts". Required to use imap-send. |
|
|
|
imap.tunnel:: |
|
Command used to setup a tunnel to the IMAP server through which |
|
commands will be piped instead of using a direct network connection |
|
to the server. Required when imap.host is not set to use imap-send. |
|
|
|
imap.host:: |
|
A URL identifying the server. Use a `imap://` prefix for non-secure |
|
connections and a `imaps://` prefix for secure connections. |
|
Ignored when imap.tunnel is set, but required to use imap-send |
|
otherwise. |
|
|
|
imap.user:: |
|
The username to use when logging in to the server. |
|
|
|
imap.password:: |
|
The password to use when logging in to the server. |
|
|
|
imap.port:: |
|
An integer port number to connect to on the server. |
|
Defaults to 143 for imap:// hosts and 993 for imaps:// hosts. |
|
Ignored when imap.tunnel is set. |
|
|
|
imap.sslverify:: |
|
A boolean to enable/disable verification of the server certificate |
|
used by the SSL/TLS connection. Default is `true`. Ignored when |
|
imap.tunnel is set. |
|
|
|
imap.preformattedHTML:: |
|
A boolean to enable/disable the use of html encoding when sending |
|
a patch. An html encoded patch will be bracketed with <pre> |
|
and have a content type of text/html. Ironically, enabling this |
|
option causes Thunderbird to send the patch as a plain/text, |
|
format=fixed email. Default is `false`. |
|
|
|
Examples |
|
~~~~~~~~ |
|
|
|
Using tunnel mode: |
|
|
|
.......................... |
|
[imap] |
|
folder = "INBOX.Drafts" |
|
tunnel = "ssh -q -C user@example.com /usr/bin/imapd ./Maildir 2> /dev/null" |
|
.......................... |
|
|
|
Using direct mode: |
|
|
|
......................... |
|
[imap] |
|
folder = "INBOX.Drafts" |
|
host = imap://imap.example.com |
|
user = bob |
|
pass = p4ssw0rd |
|
.......................... |
|
|
|
Using direct mode with SSL: |
|
|
|
......................... |
|
[imap] |
|
folder = "INBOX.Drafts" |
|
host = imaps://imap.example.com |
|
user = bob |
|
pass = p4ssw0rd |
|
port = 123 |
|
sslverify = false |
|
.......................... |

|
CAUTION |
|
------- |
|
It is still your responsibility to make sure that the email message |
|
sent by your email program meets the standards of your project. |
|
Many projects do not like patches to be attached. Some mail |
|
agents will transform patches (e.g. wrap lines, send them as |
|
format=flowed) in ways that make them fail. You will get angry |
|
flames ridiculing you if you don't check this. |
