Actually, the only issue I faced was that the outreachyfirstpatch
document does not contain the information of how one can set their inbox in mutt.
Due to which I had problems to send and reply mails. This below
configuration update will enable the inbox at the client side.

How about this...

Under the section "Configure esmtp":

###
Next, set up the mail client, mutt, with some defaults, by creating a .muttrc file in your homedirectory:

Note: The imap_pass, smtp_pass would be the App password or
 	  the mailbox password.

 		set sendmail="/usr/bin/esmtp"
 		set envelope_from=yes
 		set from="Your Name <my.email@gmail.com>"
 		set use_from=yes
 		set edit_headers=yes

 		# IMAP settings
 		set imap_user = "username@gmail.com"
 		set imap_pass = "<mailbox password>"

 		# SMTP settings
 		set smtp_url = "smtps://username@smtp.gmail.com"
 		set smtp_pass = "<mailbox password>"

 		# Remote Gmail folders
 		set folder = "imaps://imap.gmail.com/"
 		set spoolfile = "+INBOX"
 		set postponed = "+[Gmail]/Drafts"
 		set record = "+[Gmail]/Sent Mail"
 		set trash = "+[Gmail]/Trash"

Okay! I will take care of it. Thank you.

In addition to this, I would like to bring to your notice that a hyperlink
in outrachyfirstpatch document, under the section "Git post-commit
hooks" does not work and it must be changed.

under Git post-commit hooks; checkpatch.pl:
