I use gmail for code review on a "send email patches" project (QEMU), and what I do is:
* for sending patches, use git-send-email from the command line
* for reading, use a greasemonkey script to make gmail use a fixed width font
* when I need to apply a patchset locally I use the "patches" tool https://github.com/stefanha/patches https://github.com/stefanha/patches
I also have a couple of gmail "canned responses" set up for things like "write my reviewed-by tag into my email reply".
It's not fantastically ergonomic, but it's good enough that I haven't really felt the need to use something other than gmail web interface.
- na85 8y agoThanks!
- stefan_ 8y agoI have the fixed width font, but how do you deal with the 78 columns limit? I guess you can have GMail auto-break it for you as it does when sending as text, but I think that ends up looking horrible over manually selected break points. But I'm really lacking some vertical bar to hint me where the limit is.
- pm215 8y agoI have my gmail signature set to an ascii art 'ruler', so I know where column 75/80 are while I'm writing, and then I delete it when I'm done (and I do manual line breaks and if necessary manual rewrap of paragraphs)... Clunky but it works.
