Send the patches
We recommend using git-send-email(1) to send the patches to the
mailing list. For instructions on how to configure and use it,
- see <https://git-send-email.io/>. It can also be configured to
- use mutt(1) as a driver, which only requires the following
- section in <~/.gitconfig> (assuming mutt(1) is already configured
- for sending mail):
-
- [sendemail]
- sendmailcmd = mutt -H - && true
-
- In <man-pages/.git/config>, the following configuration will
- simplify sending to the right addresses:
-
- [sendemail]
- to = Alejandro Colomar <alx@kernel.org>
- cc = linux-man@vger.kernel.org
+ see <https://git-send-email.io/>. See also <CONTRIBUTING.d/git>.
Sign the patches with PGP
See <CONTRIBUTING.d/mail> for more details on signing your mail
- to the list. git-send-email(1) can be configured to use a recent
- version of neomutt(1) (>= 20240201), to sign patches with PGP
- (assuming neomutt(1) is already configured for sending signed
- mail). neomutt(1)'s -C flag enables crypto:

- sendmailcmd = neomutt -C -H - && true

+ configuring git-send-email(1) to use neomutt(1) as a driver.
