Use Gnus to apply patch sent by `git send-email`
Setup git-send-email
On Debian run sudo apt-get install git-email
to install git command line tools.
Then run cpan Authen::SASL MIME::Base64 Net::SMTP::SSL
to install perl packages (check cpan howto).
Modify ~/.gitconfig
to use Gmail SMTP:
[sendemail]
smtpencryption = tls
smtpserver = smtp.gmail.com
smtpuser = username@gmail.com
smtpserverport = 587
Send the latest commit
# send one commit
git send-email -1 --annotate
Apply patch
Select one mail. Run command "M-x gnus-summary-save-article-email" whose short key is "O m" in summary buffer.
Emacs will ask for directory to save that patch. Say I save it as ~/News/patch/hello.patch
.
git am ~/News/patch/hello.patch
Syntax highlight patch embedded in mail (OPTIONAL)
Use gnus-article-treat-patch.el.
Add below code to setup:
(require 'gnus-article-treat-patch)
(setq gnus-article-patch-conditions
'( "^@@ -[0-9]+,[0-9]+ \\+[0-9]+,[0-9]+ @@" ))
