So not really baked in at all then?

why wouldn't it be? you can send emails from web uis too. you can share diffs however you desire. you can have a remote for each developer, and push/pull changes to each other. the github mindset kind of ruined the resilience and distributedness of git: one central remote, one account authority, one central place where discussing MRs... ever forgejo is not as good as decentralized git: what's a forgejo identity?

meanwhile git has been decentralized and distributed since day one, linux is still developed in a decentralized and distributed way and forgepub is just not ready and not even close.

sending emails with an attached diff to many ppl is too hard? make a nice offline gui doing that and we're distributed. github was a psyop to make us un-learn git, making it better is silly, like wasting decades searching for "good cigarettes"

Okay, but by definition none of that is "baked into" git...

E-Mail workflow is baked in

git send-email can directly send an email and every committer is identified by a mail address.

Oh, well there you go. Looks like email PRs are baked into git.
