Subject: [PATCH v3] MyFirstContribution: add note about SMTP server config
Date: Thu, 23 Feb 2023 01:27:59 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230223082759.36021-1-gvivan6@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230222011317.97943-1-gvivan6@gmail.com>
The documentation on using git-send-email previously mentioned the need
to configure git for your operating system and email provider, but did
not provide specific details on the relevant configuration settings.
This commit adds a note specifying that the relevant settings can be
found under the 'sendemail' section of Git's configuration file, with a
link to the relevant documentation. The aim is to provide users with a
more complete understanding of the configuration process and help them
avoid potential roadblocks in setting up git-send-email.

MyFirstContribution: add note about SMTP server config
- In the documentation on using git-send-email, it was noted that the configuration
- for sending email can vary based on your operating system and email provider.
- However, it was not explicitly stated that you will need to set up your SMTP
- server details in git's configuration file under the 'sendemail' section. This
- information is critical for users who are new to using git-send-email and may
- not be familiar with the additional setup required to use their SMTP server. By
- adding this note to the documentation, the aim is to provide users with a more
- complete understanding of the configuration process and help them avoid
- potential roadblocks in setting up git-send-email.
