Working with Git Patches in Apple Mail: A Surprisingly Simple Workflow
2025-05-18
This guide details how to manage Git email patches within Apple Mail on macOS. First, create a dedicated 'Patches' mailbox. Move emails containing patches into this mailbox and export it to a local folder. Finally, use the `git apply` command in your terminal to apply the patch. While this simplifies the process in Apple Mail, the actual patch application happens via the terminal. Remember to regularly clean up your local 'Patches' folder.
