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. 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
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.

Git Manual GIT-IMAP-SEND(1)
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.
imap.authMethod
Specify authenticate method for authentication with IMAP
server. Current supported method is CRAM-MD5 only.
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
EXAMPLE
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

Git Manual GIT-IMAP-SEND(1)
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.
Thunderbird in particular is known to be problematic.
