Subject: [PATCH v2 1/1] MyFirstContribution: add note about SMTP server config
Date: Wed, 22 Feb 2023 22:40:40 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230223054040.30088-2-gvivan6@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230223054040.30088-1-gvivan6@gmail.com>

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.
