Show HN: Learn to use email with Git
One thing a lot of email providers (at least gmail and fastmail) do is let you create application passwords that you can use for specific purposes.  So if you're at all queasy about having your password in plain text on the hard drive, you can create a special password just for git.<p>Edit: you don't have to set up a terminal email client at this point, but if you figure out how to use git-send-email, you're just inches away from using mutt.
