The documentation was quite inconsistent when spelling 'git cmd' if it
only refers to the program, not to some specific invocation syntax:
both 'git-cmd' and 'git cmd' spellings exist.
The current trend goes towards dashless forms, and there is precedent
in 647ac70 (git-svn.txt: stop using dash-form of commands.,
2009-07-07) to actively eliminate the dashed variants.
Replace 'git-cmd' with 'git cmd' throughout, except where git-shell,
git-cvsserver, git-upload-pack, git-receive-pack, and
git-upload-archive are concerned, because those really live in the
$PATH.

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.pass::
|
|
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

|
|
|
|
..........................
|
|
[imap]
|

folder = "INBOX.Drafts"
|
|
tunnel = "ssh -q -C user@example.com /usr/bin/imapd ./Maildir 2> /dev/null"
|
|
..........................
|
|

|
Using direct mode:

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.

Thunderbird in particular is known to be problematic. Thunderbird
