git-growl

Git hooks that provide local growl notifications

A project with admittedly limited practical uses, it does provide pretty, if largely redundant, git notifications. See the TODO section for when it could actually be useful.

Requirements

On OSX, Git-growl needs Growl and growlnotify, which can be found in the extras for growl.

On Linux, Git-growl only needs libnotify, but loses any naming sense.

Installation

For easy installation, just run the command below.

curl http://goo.gl/ltLch -L -o - | sh

Or, to install manually, checkout the repository in your home directory, changing the name to .git-growl.

Setup

Navigate to the git repository you want to setup, then run

sh ~/.git-growl/install.sh

Or on Debian distros (or any distro that uses dash instead of bash as the default sh), run

bash ~/.git-growl/install.sh

TODO

• Add server side scripts to send notifications to clients (make this project useful!)
• Add an uninstall script
• Add a windows version
