From: Jacob Keller Date: Thu, 08 Aug 2024 21:09:57 GMT Subject: [PATCH 0/3] send-email: teach git send-email mode to translate aliases Message-ID: <20240808-jk-translate-alias-send-email-v1-0-10a03b3d6b06@gmail.com> The b4 program has its own "b4 send" utility for sending a patch series. It is similar in many respects to git send-email. Currently, it lacks support for processing aliases, which makes switching between git send-email and b4 send somewhat annoying. It would be convenient if b4 (or other programs interacting with git) could make use of git send-email's alias file support. Teach git send-email a new --translate-aliases option, which enables a new mode to interpret all remaining arguments as email aliases, translating them according to the configured alias file. Output the translated email addresses one per line. I also considered implementing a new "full" format for --dump-aliases which would dump the entire alias file along with its configured email addresses. I ended up dropping that change as I felt that it would be less usable than the translation feature.
