-<p>2023-04-25</p>
-<p>Users who work with git patches through email most likely use a terminal-based program such as <code>aerc</code> or <code>mutt</code>. CLI email clients tend to have built-in support for easily applying patches directly to their local repos. But what about people who prefer to use graphical email apps?</p>
-<p>Lucky for us, it is actually fairly simple to replicate a similar workflow to that of a CLI client. In this example I will be focusing on the Evolution email client, but the core principles should work in most other GUIs.</p>
-<h2 id="the-basics">The Basics</h2>
-<blockquote>
-<p><strong>Note:</strong> The following assumes you already have <code>git</code> installed and setup on your existing system.</p>
-</blockquote>
-<p>I find it best to first create a top-level folder on your system named <code>patches</code>. We will use this folder as a temporary location for reviewing any <code>git</code> patches submitted via email. I normally place this under <code>&#47;home&#47;&#60;username&#62;&#47;patches</code>.</p>
-<p>Next, locate the email patch in Evolution and right-click on it. Select &#8220;Save as mbox&#8230;&#8221; and place this file inside your newly created <code>patches</code> folder.</p>
-<p>Now simply open your terminal, navigate to your project and run:</p>
-<pre><code>git am &#60;path-to-patches-folder&#62;&#47;&#60;patch-filename&#62;.mbox
-</code></pre>
-<p>This should apply the patch directly to your project without issue. You are now free to test these changes locally. If everything looks good, you&#8217;re able to instantly push these changes remotely.</p>
-<p>Done and done.</p>
-<p>Feel free to purge your <code>patches</code> folder regularly or keep them around for future reference if you prefer!</p>
