I am sending really few patches so my workflow is probably not
optimized. What I do is from magit-status:
1. Select the commits
2. W c
C-m b origin/master RET
C-m l
c
3. Edit the cover letter
4. !! send-email --to=guix-patc...@gnu.org 0000-cover-letter.patch
5. Wait and refresh my inbox
6. !! send-email --to=12...@gnu.org 000?-*.patch
Be careful if other patches remain in your current worktree.
Note base-commit which provides the information against which commit the
series applies. It is really helpful for applying; especially if the
series falls in the crack *or* for the “new” tool b4 and the Emacs
front-end piem [2]. See thread here [3]. :-)
AFAIK, there is no ’send-email’ support with Magit. I have never check
the built-in vc-mode.
What I have understood is that Magit-forge should implement ’send-email’
as a backend (forge) but it has not happened yet. Or I missed the
news. :-)
I am curious to know how others Emacsers fellows do.
Hope that helps,
simon
