downloading

$ sudo dnf install git git-secret gpg
$ sudo dnf install nmap-ncat #optional
$ git clone https://github.com/hexparrot/mboxgit.git
$ cd mboxgit
$ ./convert --help

usage

open .mbox file as argument to -m:

$ ./convert -m rf-mime-torture-test-1.0.mbox

to use encryption, provide an email address that matches a public key registered on the host system in gpg:

$ gpg --list-keys | grep uid
  uid           [ultimate] William Dizon <will@local>

$ ./convert -m rf-mime-torture-test-1.0.mbox -e will@local

transferring

open a netcat server on the host to serve commit.tar:

$ ./serve

$ cat commit.tar | nc --send-only -4 -l -p 8888    # this is the equivalent

on the destination node, receive the file:

$ nc [hostname/ip] 8888 > commit.tar < /dev/null
