Patch Workflows - Ry’s Git Tutorial - RyPress -- Another good blog post on working with Git patches via Email as well as applying them. -- The key point (I think) is that you need to grab the entire contents of email email in order in order to pipe the contents into git am - -- Hmmm 🤔 -- I think we can do better than this...

@justamoment@twtxt.net Well what I mean to say is that git itself basically just houses some client-side “Metadata” about the repository and a bunch of objects that make up the contents and revision history. For example, there is a special file called .git/description that you can edit and there’s even git branch --edit to edit a branch’s description. But none of that is useful beyond a local client. That is to say, if you git clone or git push none of that information is published anywhere or made available to anyone else.

So Git’s “distributed data” is limited to well basically its revision history and series of objects I guess? 🤔
