So I’m doing a private collab and hosting a git repo off my server. Got annoying pretty quick with these occasional emails “hey pushed xyz change that could affect abc for you, make sure to pull the latest”
Enter this script, post-receive-email
To get going with it, I did the following, (line breaks for readability here):
wget -O '/user/local/bin/post-receive-email' \
'http://git.kernel.org/?p=git/git.git;a=blob_plain;f=contrib/hooks/'\
'post-receive-email;h=60cbab65d3f8230be3041a13fac2fd9f9b3018d5;hb=HEAD'
chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/post-receive-email
Next, link to this in your repo with ln -s /usr/local/bin/post-receive-email hooks/post-receive and add something like this to config
[hooks]
mailinglist = "jane@email.com, john@email.com"
envelopesender = no-reply@email.com
emailprefix = "[GIT] "
And that will notify the mailing list of any push that occurs. There’s a number of other options worth exploring by reading the post-receive-email bash script.
