Sending patches with git and a USP email

Introduction

Right after learning the basics of git send-email in the previous tutorial, I followed the FLUSP guide specifically for USP students:
Sending patches with git and a USP email.

USP’s Gmail blocks App Passwords and “less secure apps,” so we need an OAuth2 proxy to send patches. The tutorial shows how to set this up with Docker and kw send-patch.

What I Did

1. Not much because I do not have a USP email.
2. I just read the tutorial

What I Learned

• USP email needs a special OAuth2 proxy because normal SMTP auth is blocked.
• kw send-patch makes the whole process much cleaner than raw git send-email.
• The local proxy (127.0.0.1:2587) acts as a bridge between git and Gmail.
• Always test with --simulate before sending to the mailing list!
