I know that this is not the main point of your email (hence changing the
subject), but I would like to chime in on how I get my gmail to work git
send-email. The easiest way is to just have it use another program. In
my case I use msmtp.
In your ~/.gitconfig:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
[sendemail]
smtpserver = /usr/bin/msmtp
smtpserveroption = -a
smtpserveroption = gmail
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
For ~/.msmtp
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
defaults
auth on
tls on
tls_trust_file /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
logfile ~/.msmtp.log
# Gmail
account gmail
host smtp.gmail.com
port 465
tls_starttls off
from [email protected]
user [email protected]
passwordeval "pass [email protected]"
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
The actual password that you put in your password manager in this case
would be an app password [0].
This setup works for me for a bunch of different email accounts across
gmail/live/ymail
