I believe git has good documentation for that, but yes, someone would
need to put this blurb in their ~/.gitconfig file:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
[sendemail]
        smtpEncryption = tls
        smtpServer = some-email-server
        smtpUser = your-email
        smtpPass = your-password
        smtpServerPort = 587
	assume8bitEncoding = utf-8
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Which shouldn't be much more difficult than setting up SSH keys to be
able to push to your Codeberg fork, it seems.
