@subsubsection Command-line interface
Mumi also comes with a command-line interface that can be used to search
existing issues, open new issues and send patches. You do not need to
use Emacs to use the mumi command-line client. You interact with it
only on the command-line.
To use the mumi command-line interface, navigate to a local clone of the
Guix git repository, and drop into a shell with mumi, git and
git:send-email installed.
@example
$ cd guix
~/guix$ guix shell mumi git git:send-email
@end example
To search for issues, say all open issues about "zig", run
@example
~/guix [env]$ mumi search zig is:open
#60889 Add zig-build-system
opened on 17 Jan 17:37 Z by Ekaitz Zarraga
#61036 [PATCH 0/3] Update zig to 0.10.1
opened on 24 Jan 09:42 Z by Efraim Flashner
#39136 [PATCH] gnu: services: Add endlessh.
opened on 14 Jan 2020 21:21 by Nicol? Balzarotti
#60424 [PATCH] gnu: Add python-online-judge-tools
opened on 30 Dec 2022 07:03 by gemmaro
#45601 [PATCH 0/6] vlang 0.2 update
opened on 1 Jan 2021 19:23 by Ryan Prior
@end example
Pick an issue and make it the "current" issue.
@example
~/guix [env]$ mumi current 61036
#61036 [PATCH 0/3] Update zig to 0.10.1
opened on 24 Jan 09:42 Z by Efraim Flashner
@end example
Once an issue is the current issue, you can easily create and send
patches to it using
@example
~/guix [env]$ git format-patch origin/master
~/guix [env]$ mumi send-email foo.patch bar.patch
@end example
Note that you do not have to pass in @samp{--to} or @samp{--cc}
arguments to @command{git format-patch}. @command{mumi send-email} will
put them in correctly when sending the patches.
To open a new issue, run
@example
~/guix [env]$ mumi new
@end example
and send patches
@example
~/guix [env]$ mumi send-email foo.patch bar.patch
@end example
@command{mumi send-email} is really a wrapper around @command{git
send-email} that automates away all the nitty-gritty of sending patches.
It uses the current issue state to automatically figure out the correct
@samp{To} address to send to, other participants to @samp{Cc}, headers
to add, etc.
Also note that, unlike @command{git send-email}, @command{mumi
send-email} works perfectly well with single and multiple patches alike.
It automates away the debbugs dance of sending the first patch, waiting
for a response from debbugs and sending the remaining patches. It does
so by sending the first patch, polling the server for a response, and
then sending the remaining patches. This polling can unfortunately take
a few minutes. So, please be patient.
@subsubsection Emacs interface
If you use Emacs, you may find it more convenient to interact with
issues using @file{debbugs.el}, which you can install with:
