sending git-format-patch files with mailx.

David Ho· Mar 29, 2006, 20:36 UTC · lore

Very stupid question.

I have patches created by git-format-patch. However I suppose I can send it off directly using mailx, but I have a hard time figuring how this is done.

Someone here can probably answer this in a second.

Thanks in advance, David

Perhaps:

	$ mailx -s 'my subject' upstream@maintainer.example.com
	~r 0001-my-patch.txt

(that's tilde r).

But I thought we had a command for that: git-send-email. I admit I haven't used it for anything real, though, since I do not have an upstream maintainer anymore.
