Hi everyone,

I installed git in my windows system. I want to integrate email service with my git. Whenever I commit something, it will send an email to me. How can I implement this task using send-email?

Hi@akhtar,

To use git send-email service you have to set some global variable in your .gitconfig file. You can run these commands as given below from your git bash.

git config --global sendemail.smtpencryption tls
git config --global sendemail.smtpserver mail.messagingengine.com
git config --global sendemail.smtpuser "replace with user"
git config --global sendemail.smtpserverport 587
git config --global sendemail.smtppass "Replace with password"
git config --global sendemail.to "destination_user"

After setting this in your .gitconfig file, you can create one hook as post-commit and inside this hook write the below lines as given below.

#!/bin/bash
git send-email -1

Now whenever you commit something it will send one mail to your destination address.
