Nice little tutorial on using git-send-email (https://git-send-email.io/). Important little tidbit on knowledge for those who've only ever done github pull requests or the gitlab equivilant. It's even interactive to help you make sure you've got it right. :)

@thrrgilag the sr.ht train. :D

I did wonder what you do if a push is bigger than e-mail generally allows.

@SpaceNerdMo

@33MHz In this day in age that would have to be one hell of a patch set to exceed email limits.

@33MHz

@thrrgilag I think most hosts limit to 25mb, right? I certainly don't do patches that big, but say a repo holds images, or dependencies...

@SpaceNerdMo

@33MHz Yeah good point about image assets. If limits become a problem then perhaps that's an occasion for multiple patch sets.

@33MHz

@thrrgilag yeah. It's not the common thing, but sometimes repos will even include the compiled versions of applications... it's almost used as a general data store for some projects.

@33MHz

@thrrgilag Robin had two apks in its repo, of course they didn't exceed 25MB.

@SpaceNerdMo

@33MHz that just feels wrong, why would they do that?

@33MHz

@thrrgilag so it's all in one place (github).

@SpaceNerdMo

@33MHz yeah I suppose, probably not the best approach though. Moving stuff to sr.ht has me thinking more about workflow, contributions, and lowering my friction to getting stuff done.

@33MHz

@thrrgilag definitely.
