If yes, does it work for you? It's probably a good idea to set up two-factor authentication and add an app-specific password for "git send-email" (at least that's what I do). The password can be stored encrypted using the OS keychain, or if you don't want/have one (e.g. you are running headless) you could check if your distro installs git-credential-netrc. Create a ~/.netrc.gpg file, where the decrypted content should look like machine smtp.gmail.com login larsxschneider@xxxxxxxxx password mypassword Then do git config --global credential.helper netrc and you're all set. :) Paolo
