+Name
+ Git - instructions for configuring git(1)
+
+Description
+ git-diff(1), gitattributes(5)
+ To produce useful hunk contexts in manual pages, we need to hack
+ git(1)'s idea of a function name, and also to tell git what is a
+ manual page.
+
+ $ git config --global diff.man.xfuncname '^\.S[SHsh] .*$';
+ $ echo '*.[0-9]* diff=man' >>~/.config/git/attributes;
+
+ git-format-patch(1)
+ Send patches to the right addresses.
+
+ $ git config --local format.to 'Alejandro Colomar <alx@kernel.org>';
+ $ git config --local format.cc '<linux-man@vger.kernel.org>';
+
+ git-send-email(1)
+ If mutt(1) or neomutt(1) are configured in the system,
+ git-send-email(1) can be configured to use any of them as a
+ driver. Recent versions of neomutt(1) can enable crypto with -C.
+
+ $ git config --global \
+ sendemail.sendmailcmd 'neomutt -C -H - && true';
+ or
+ $ git config --global sendemail.sendmailcmd 'mutt -H - && true';
