    Do you mean sending patches by email? The author for the article also despises them as suggest alternatives for collaboration where you do “pull request” by people giving you a link to their repo and branch name (like literally asking you to try pulling from their git repo), or sending git bundle files which get around a lot of the problems of trying to send patch files around.

      Yes. The only way to send patches without something like Github is over email. I don’t mind all the other stuff, but there’s no other way to do PRs than over email, and I hate email. I didn’t see that he gave alternatives. His preferred solution was an email

      The formal PR button in a forge is a way to do that with one click, but a short email with all the same information is just as good.
