This is process I did to get git sending email to mailing list:
First you need to install git-email in your distro (I am using Ubuntu):
$ sudo apt-get install git-email
Now configure your personal information:
$ git config --global user.name "Your (un)Real Name" $ git config --global user.email user@gmail.com
Now we will configure git to use Gmail:
$ git config --global sendemail.smtpserver smtp.gmail.com $ git config --global sendemail.smtpserverport 587 $ git config --global sendemail.smtpencryption tls $ git config --global sendemail.smtpuser your_email@gmail.com $ git config --global sendemail.smtppass your_password
Configure the mailing list you want send to (i.e.: Linux ARM):
$ git config sendemail.to linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org
