Have you tried it at all? Email workflow is pleasant even with the unpolished email tools out there. If someone had invested in those tools then the github type workflow wouldn't have become popular.

I was laughing at the usage of the OP saying "now that GitHub is so popular". Like... GitHub has been the most popular git hosting service since only a couple of years after it came out back in 2008.

And to answer your question: Yes, I use GitHub.

Yeah lol I know what you mean. I think what I meant to say was that I hear Github mentioned so much now compared to, say, 10 years ago. From non-technical people, teams who historically used subversion or even just no version control system at all.

Out of curiosity I looked it up on Google trends: https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=2013-09-04%202023-09-04&q=github

Yeah I think the last few years they have definitely ramped up and become even more attractive. Especially after they got rid of their private repository limitations which their competitors, like GitLab, had freely available.

I love the email workflow: open GNUS, hit C-o on the email, and boom i have a buffer holding a patch that can be applied with git am!
