The idea is essentially the same, with just a little extra work involved.</p> - <h2 id="create-a-patches-mailbox">Create a “Patches” Mailbox</h2> - <p>The first thing you’ll need to do is make a new <code>Patches</code> mailbox folder inside your existing mail account. Once done, your default Mail sidebar should look similar to the following:</p> - <h2 id="applying-patches">Applying Patches</h2> - <p>Now navigate to the email message containing a <code>git</code> patch. Right-click and select <em>Move to</em> > <em>Patches</em>. Now in the sidebar, right-click your <em>Patches</em> folder and select <em>Export Mailbox…</em>. You’ll be prompted to save this folder locally. I suggest having a top-level folder named <strong>Patches</strong> to make things consistent.</p> - <p>Inside this folder you should see something similar to the following structure:</p> - <p>Once saved, open your terminal, navigate to the project you wish to apply this new patch to:</p> - <pre><code>cd my-path/very-cool-project </code></pre> - <p>and then run:</p> - <pre><code>git apply ~/Patches/<saved-patches-mailbox-folder>/mbox </code></pre> - <p>Congrats! You’ve successfully applied a git email patch through Apple Mail! Well, kind of. The terminal did most of the <em>real</em> work. Just be sure to periodically <em>purge</em> your local <em>Patches</em> folder to keep things clean!</p> <footer role="contentinfo"> <h2>Menu Navigation</h2> |
