send an email with logs after push

send an email with logs after push

[michele]

Hi guys, I'm using git for a collaborative development and I'm trying to
implement a notification system. I want to automatically send an email
containing the log of each commit after a push. The email should contain
the titles of the commits done between the previous and the last push.
The push action publish the repository on a public_html directory in one
other machine.

Do you have any suggestion to implement this?

Thanks

Michele,

I'm doing that. In the post-receive hook I have:

<<
while read oldrev newrev ref; do
    trac_post_receive_record_log "$oldrev" "$newrev" "$ref" gtest

    send_mail_post_receive "$oldrev" "$newrev" "$ref" gtest \
	pascal@obry.net another@here.com
done
>>

the trac_post_receive_record_log is to add log into trac bug tracker.

the send_mail_post_receive is to send a message to the recipients
listed. The 4th parameter is the name of the project.

The send_mail_post_receive function is:

function send_mail_post_receive() {
    oldrev=$1
    newrev=$2
    ref=$3
    MODULE="$4"

    git log -p $oldrev..$newrev > $log
    cat $log | mail -s "[$MODULE] $ref $oldrev..$newrev" $5 $6 $7 $8 $9
    rm -fr $root
}

You'll find a set of hook helper routines there:

   git clone http://repo.or.cz/r/git-scripts.git

Hope this helps!

Pascal.

See also post-receive-email in git/contrib/hooks/, probably installed
somewhere like by your distro. In the .git/hooks/post-receive.sample
installed by default by "git init", this should be a matter of
uncommenting one line.

Thank you for your suggestions. I've added a new post-receive hook using
the code from post-receive-email. The hook is executable and is placed
in the remote directory. The push is made from my local pc via ssh, but
after the push nothing seems to happen: the hook is not executed on the
server side. It does not depend from the code inside the hook: even the
unique "touch foobar" command does not work. Where do I have to look?

Thanks
