Hello I am currently using aerc and just ocurred to me that will be harder to migrate to meli because as far as I was able to read it does not have integrated git email workflows. This is an example of how I use it, https://drewdevault.com/2020/04/20/Configuring-aerc-for-git.html even do this is an older post and they added even more features since most people who uses TUI/CLI non GUI apps we are hackers/developers/systems people so we participate in a lot of growing GIT proyects that rather decentralize original git process like the linux kernel does or gnome etc most people that we have repos on sourcehut (myself included) use by defailt a git email workflow for our patches/users/proyects

So this is not a bug or anything close just a feature that will be great to have! specially now that the demand of people moving away from github and other propietary git workflows.

Thanks!

You can export messages as mbox (and therefore pass them to git-am) and pipe attachments to commands; there's no custom actions etc though because we lack a scripting language. It was always difficult to decide on an existing lang or a DSL for that. I want to allow extensibility but it's a large project and starting it frightens me a bit.

My current in-mind plan is integrating pyo3: https://pyo3.rs/
