notmuch-import-patch(1)

✨ NAME ✨

notmuch-import-patch — bestie, this one takes a git patch series and yeets it straight into notmuch 💌

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

notmuch-import-patch [git-format-patch(1) args]

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so here's the tea: notmuch-import-patch is a lil wrapper around maildir-import-patch(1) made specifically for the notmuch girlies. 🎀

Here's the pipeline, no cap:

1. It generates a patch series using git-format-patch(1).
2. Then it imports that whole series into your notmuch database as an e-mail thread — one message per patch, periodt. 👑

---

🌸 EXAMPLE 🌸

Sis, go look at "EXAMPLE" in maildir-import-patch(1) — same energy, same everything. The only glow-up is that you swap out the call to maildir-import-patch for a call to notmuch-import-patch instead. Literally that's it. 🫶

---

🎀 CONFIGURATION 🎀

notmuch-import-patch tries to read its config from this file:

$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/mailscripts/notmuch-import-patch

and if XDG_CONFIG_HOME isn't set, it falls back to trying:

~/.config/mailscripts/notmuch-import-patch

The format is key = value, one per line. So like, very demure, very minimal. 🧚

The following configuration key is supported:

• maildir — the full path to a maildir that's indexed by notmuch, and it's the spot where notmuch-import-patch will insert patches. It defaults to the "patches" subdirectory of the database.path key in your notmuch configuration. 💖
