15 | DESCRIPTION | |
16 | ----------- | |
0b444cdb | 17 | This command uploads a mailbox generated with 'git format-patch' |
c82b0748 RS |
18 | into an IMAP drafts folder. This allows patches to be sent as |
19 | other email is when using mail clients that cannot read mailbox | |
4916c8f9 RR |
20 | files directly. The command also works with any general mailbox |
21 | in which emails have the fields "From", "Date", and "Subject" in | |
22 | that order. | |
454a35b8 MM |
23 | |
24 | Typical usage is something like: | |
25 | ||
b1889c36 | 26 | git format-patch --signoff --stdout --attach origin | git imap-send |

96 | EXAMPLES |
97 | -------- | |

98 | To submit patches using GMail's IMAP interface, first, edit your ~/.gitconfig |
99 | to specify your account settings: | |
100 | ||
101 | --------- | |
102 | [imap] | |
103 | folder = "[Gmail]/Drafts" | |
104 | host = imaps://imap.gmail.com | |
105 | user = user@gmail.com | |
106 | port = 993 | |
107 | sslverify = false | |
108 | --------- | |
109 | ||
110 | You might need to instead use: folder = "[Google Mail]/Drafts" if you get an error | |
111 | that the "Folder doesn't exist". | |
112 | ||
113 | Once the commits are ready to be sent, run the following command: | |
114 | ||
115 | $ git format-patch --cover-letter -M --stdout origin/master | git imap-send | |
116 | ||
117 | Just make sure to disable line wrapping in the email client (GMail's web | |
118 | interface will wrap lines no matter what, so you need to use a real | |
119 | IMAP client). | |

121 | CAUTION |
122 | ------- | |
123 | It is still your responsibility to make sure that the email message | |
124 | sent by your email program meets the standards of your project. | |
125 | Many projects do not like patches to be attached. Some mail | |
126 | agents will transform patches (e.g. wrap lines, send them as | |
127 | format=flowed) in ways that make them fail. You will get angry | |
128 | flames ridiculing you if you don't check this. | |
