The advantages of an email-driven Git workflow
The article describes a lot about the workflow, but only two sentences about the advantages:<p>&gt; A very large body of email-related software exists and is equally reliable and well-understood. You can interact with email using only open source software and customize your workflow at every level of the stack - filtering, organizing, forwarding, replying, and so on; in any manner you choose.<p>Using email software in general is well-understood, but using it for Git is much harder than using GitHub. Customizing the workflow is also something you probably shouldn&#x27;t want to do unless you&#x27;re really working with a massive project such as the Linux kernel.
