Git email patch review addon for Thunderbird

Summary

Thunderbird Patch Review Review git patches from email inside Thunderbird Synopsis A Thunderbird Add-on.

Screenshots Fig: Patch button included in plugin Fig: Patch overview Fig: Apply patches from the UI. Fig: Catch errors and send feedback. Fig: Sourcehut integration. Installation (source) Package the extension source code as an .xpi and install it via the Add-ons Manager gear menu (Install Add-on From File...). To package it, run the following from the project root: (cd extension && zip -qrX ../patch-review.xpi .) At some point I will upload the add-on to Thunderbird. Configuration Open the extension's preferences: Editor command Run from the repository after a successful apply, with the changed files as arguments. Use a non-blocking GUI-capable command such as code -n or emacsclient -n; a bare terminal editor has no terminal to open in. Empty means $EDITOR. Apply strategy git am --3way (default) or plain git am. Repository mappings Substring matches against a patch's List-Id header or sender, mapped to an absolute repository path. When no mapping matches, the last path a series was applied to is used; it is remembered until changed. Repository paths can be chosen with the Browse button, which opens Thunderbird's native directory chooser; the path field stays editable either way.
