Sends email commit messages splitting commits that were pushed in one
step. Email is delivered as text or HTML with changes refined per
word. Emails have a scanable subject containing the first sentence of
the commit as well as the author, project and branch name.
A reply-to header is added containing the author of the commit. This makes follow up really simple.
For example:
[rails][master] Fix Brasilia timezone. [#1180 state:resolved]
If multiple commits are pushed at once, emails are numbered in chronological order:
[rails][master]000 Added deprecated warning messages to Float#months and Float#years deprications.
[rails][master]001 Enhance testing for fractional days and weeks. Update changelog.
Example email:
- Ruby and RubyGems
- SMTP server or sendmail compatible mailer
Install the gem:
gem install git-commit-notifier
Link the script in as your post-receive hook:
cd /path/to/your/repo.git/hooks
ln -s `which git-commit-notifier` post-receive
Edit the configuration to suit you:
- git config hooks.mailinglist (email address of the recipient, probably your mailing list address)
- git config hooks.emailprefix (application name for subject line, defaults to repo name)
- git config hooks.smtpserver (optional hostname:port of your smtp server, default is localhost)
- git config hooks.smtpuser (username for external smtp)
- git config hooks.smtppassword (password for external smtp)
