[PATCH v5 0/4] docs: update email credential helpers and improve formatting
From: Aditya Garg <hidden>
Date: 2025-05-28 07:05:32
Hi all,
This patch series included three patches:
1. The first patch adds a link to the `git-credential-yahoo` helper for
Yahoo accounts and links Google's `sendgmail` tool as an alternative
method for sending emails through Gmail.
2. The second patch improves the formatting of the `git-send-email`
documentation, making it more readable and consistent.
3. The third patch removed the email credential helper links from the
`gitcredentials` page. The links are still available in the
`git-send-email` documentation, which is the right place for them.
Detailed explanation of the changes has been done in individual patch.
v2: Removed instructions for Yahoo SMTP server since I've realised that
Yahoo *was* a popular email service. Also, the instructions were
just making the docs more crowded. I've also added a link to
Google's `sendgmail` tool in the first patch. The second patch has been
added to address the issues that came up here:
https://github.com/git/git-scm.com/pull/2005
v3: Added a patch to improve the formatting of the `git-send-email`
documentation.
v4: Added cpan links of the perl modules requires for `git-send-email`
to work.
v5: Added a patch to make the purpose of using app password for Gmail
more clear in `send-email` documentation.
