I recently covered how to work with git email patches in Evolution on Linux, 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.

Create a “Patches” Mailbox

The first thing you’ll need to do is make a new Patches mailbox folder inside your existing mail account. Once done, your default Mail sidebar should look similar to the following:

The Apple Mail sidebar with the Patches folder present

Applying Patches

Now navigate to the email message containing a git patch. Right-click and select Move to > Patches. Now in the sidebar, right-click your Patches folder and select Export Mailbox…. You’ll be prompted to save this folder locally. I suggest having a top-level folder named Patches to make things consistent.

Inside this folder you should see something similar to the following structure:

+

The contents of the saved Patches mailbox folder

Once saved, open your terminal, navigate to the project you wish to apply this new patch to:

cd my-path/very-cool-project
-- cgit v1.2.3-54-g00ecf
