<p>I recently covered how to <a href="/git-patches">work with git email patches in Evolution on Linux</a>, so I thought it would make sense to walk through a similar workflow for those using Apple Mail on MacOS. The idea is essentially the same, with just a little extra work involved.</p>
-<h2>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>
-<p><figure>
- <img src="/public/images/apple-mail-1.png" alt="The Apple Mail sidebar with the Patches folder present">
- <figcaption>The Apple Mail sidebar with the "Patches" folder present</figcaption>
-</figure></p>
-<h2>Applying Patches</h2>
-<p>Now navigate to the email message containing a <code>git</code> patch. Right-click and select <em>Move to</em> &gt; <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>

- <img src="/public/images/apple-mail-2.png" alt="The contents of the saved Patches mailbox folder">
- <figcaption>The contents of the saved Patches mailbox folder</figcaption>

<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
+
+<pre><code>cd my-path&#47;very-cool-project
</code></pre>
+
<p>and then run:</p>
-<pre><code>git apply ~/Patches/&lt;saved-patches-mailbox-folder&gt;/mbox
+
+<pre><code>git apply ~&#47;Patches&#47;&#60;saved-patches-mailbox-folder&#62;&#47;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>
