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.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.
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.
Thunderbird in particular is known to be problematic. Thunderbird
users may wish to visit this web page for more information:
