Subject: [PATCH b4 04/21] docs: contributor: send: fix sendmail typo
Date: Tue, 03 Feb 2026 14:31:03 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260203-misc-docs-v1-4-fddb72511357@cherry.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260203-misc-docs-v1-0-fddb72511357@cherry.de>
From: Quentin Schulz <quentin.schulz@cherry.de>
There's a sendmail binary, but the git configuration settings are
sendemail and not sendmail (and you can use sendmail in sendemail to
make things more confusing), so let's fix that oversight.
Fixes: e8045d135316 ("ez: Add --use-web-endpoint arg to force web endpoint")
Fixes: 890fdc05400e ("docs: document pre-flight checks")
Signed-off-by: Quentin Schulz <quentin.schulz@cherry.de>
