git-mailinfo:tldr:35d8a

The command "git mailinfo ${select}" is a Git command used to convert plain text emails into patches that can be applied using the Git version control system.

Here is a breakdown of each element in the command:

• "git": This is the command-line interface for the Git version control system.
• "mailinfo": This is a Git command used to parse plain text emails and extract patches from them.
• "${select}": This is a placeholder that represents the name or path of the file containing the plain text email that you want to convert.

By running this command, Git will process the specified plain text email file and generate patches that can be applied to a Git repository using other commands like "git am" (apply mailbox) or "git apply" (apply patch).

It's worth noting that the "${select}" part should be replaced with the actual file name or location before running the command. For example, if the plain text email is stored in a file called "email.txt", the command would be: "git mailinfo email.txt".
