+# git-email
+
+This package integrates with git and `message-mode` and offers three main functions - `git-email-send-email`, `git-email-format-patch` and `git-email-apply-patch`.
+
+`git-email-send-email` sends an email based on a patch file generated by
+'git format-patch`. It inserts the relevant headers and the diff into the
+message buffer.
+
+`git-email-format-patch` is a wrapper for 'git format-patch' and it
+automatically composes an email for each generated patch, in the same way
+as `git-email-send-email'.
+
+`git-email-apply-patch` will apply the patch that you are currently viewing
+and it will ask to for the project that the patch belongs to.
+
+## Contributing:
+
+You can contribute patches to the project via the [git-email-devel](https://lists.sr.ht/~yoctocell/git-email-devel) list, using [git send-email](https://git-send-email.io/).
+
+## TODOs
+
+- Add proper syntax highlighting to diffs in the message buffer.
