Git Commit Notifier¶ ↑

by Csoma Zoltan (info 'at' railsprogrammer 'dot' net)

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.

For example:

[rails][master] Fix Brasilia timezone. [#1180 state:resolved]

A reply-to header is added containing the author of the commit. This makes follow up really simple. 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.
