git-imap-send(1) |
|
================ |
|
|
|
NAME |
|
---- |
|
git-imap-send - Send a collection of patches from stdin to an IMAP folder |
|
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS |
|
-------- |
|
[verse] |
|
'git imap-send' [-v] [-q] [--[no-]curl] |
|
|
|
|
|
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. The command also works with any general mailbox |
|
in which emails have the fields "From", "Date", and "Subject" in |
|
that order. |
|
|
|
Typical usage is something like: |
|
|
|
git format-patch --signoff --stdout --attach origin | git imap-send |
|
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS |
|
------- |
|
|
|
-v:: |
|
--verbose:: |
|
Be verbose. |
|
|
|
-q:: |
|
--quiet:: |
|
Be quiet. |
|
|
|
--curl:: |
|
Use libcurl to communicate with the IMAP server, unless tunneling |
|
into it. Ignored if Git was built without the USE_CURL_FOR_IMAP_SEND |
|
option set. |
|
|
|
--no-curl:: |
|
Talk to the IMAP server using git's own IMAP routines instead of |
|
using libcurl. Ignored if Git was built with the NO_OPENSSL option |
|
set. |
|
|
|
|
|

|
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 |
|
......................... |
|
|
|
|
|
EXAMPLES |
|
-------- |
|
To submit patches using GMail's IMAP interface, first, edit your ~/.gitconfig |
|
to specify your account settings: |
|
|
|
--------- |
|
[imap] |
|
folder = "[Gmail]/Drafts" |
|
host = imaps://imap.gmail.com |
|
user = user@gmail.com |
|
port = 993 |
|
sslverify = false |
|
--------- |
|
|
|
You might need to instead use: folder = "[Google Mail]/Drafts" if you get an error |
|
that the "Folder doesn't exist". |
|
|
|
Once the commits are ready to be sent, run the following command: |
|
|
|
$ git format-patch --cover-letter -M --stdout origin/master | git imap-send |
|
|
|
Just make sure to disable line wrapping in the email client (GMail's web |
|
interface will wrap lines no matter what, so you need to use a real |
|
IMAP client). |
|
|
|
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. |
