how do I pull my git user mail user and password to send email from my local repository?

Question

How can I pull git users email login info from my git local repository using python to send email with my custom git command ?

I want to do something like git send-email does, it sends email without asking for password.

Answer 1

you can get email by doing something like this:

with open('.gitconfig') as f:
    text=f.readlines()
for line in text:
    if 'email' in line:
        print line[line.index('=')+2:]

git send-email should work without passwords provided you have the ssh keys
