There are two ways how to integrate this with nagios or icinga.
Use check_git directly from nagios and test a repository every time a check is triggered. In order for the output to be usaeble by Nagios / Icinga, you will have to use -n <NAME>, which will amongst others remove the shell colors from the output. Correct exit codes for success, warning, error and unknown are thrown by default.
Example
$ check_git -d <PATH_TO_GIT_DIR> -s -n <PROJECT_NAME>This approach reduces the overhead to check a repository every 5min by nagios, and rather check the logfile created by check_git.
Sometimes a full check (status, gpg, remote check, etc) can take up to a few seconds and u don't want to stress the system every 5min.
For that to work, you simply add check_git to your crontab and only check your repository every 4 hours for example.
Nagios / Icinga can still check the logfile every 5 minutes.
Crontab
0 0,4,8,12,16,20 * * * /full/path/to/check_git -d <GIT_DIR> -n <PROJECT_NAME> -l /var/log/git/<project-name>.logThis will update the logfile under /var/log/git/<project-name>.log every 4 hours and nagios/icinga can however check on it as often as they want via:
The actual check
$ check_git_log -f /var/log/git/<project-name>.logThe following examples show each options separately, you can of course combine most checks.

check_git can validate a git repository by different requirements
You can have normal output or nagios (-n) compatible output to
integrate this into your monitoring system.
Required arguments:
-d <git dir> Specify path to git repository.
Optional arguments (output):
-v Be more verbose.
-n <name> Create nagios style check outout.
Removes colors and adds a project name to the first line.
-l <logfile> Log to file instead of stdout.
This is especially useful if you want to integrate this check via nagios.
You can then add a cronjob which periodically logs to file (as your deploy user)
and the nagios check simply parses the logfile via 'check_git_log'.
Requires '-n'.
Optional arguments (checks):
-s Check if git directory is clean.
This also take any submodules into account.
To prevent checking submodules use '-S'.
'-s' and '-S' are mutually exclusive.
-S Check if git directory is clean (ignore submodules).
This ignores any submodules.
To also check against submodules use '-s'.
'-s' and '-S' are mutually exclusive.
-r <remote> Check if git repository is in sync with remote.
This option makes only sense, if your repository is
checked out on a branch that can be compared with remote.
This also take any submodules into account.
To prevent checking submodules use '-R'.
'-r' and '-R' are mutually exclusive.
-R <remote> Check if git repository is in sync with remote (ignore submodules).
This option makes only sense, if your repository is
checked out on a branch that can be compared with remote.
This ignores any submodules.
To also check submodules use '-r'.
'-r' and '-R' are mutually exclusive.
-b Check if repository is checkout out on a branch.
No detached HEAD or tag.
'-b', '-B', '-t' and '-T' are mutually exclusive.
-B [<branch>] Check if repository is checkout out on the specified branch.
'-b', '-B', '-t' and '-T' are mutually exclusive.
-t Check if repository is checkout out on a tag.
No detached HEAD or branch.
'-b', '-B', '-t' and '-T' are mutually exclusive.
-T [<tag>] Check if repository is checkout out on the specified tag.
No detached HEAD or branch.
'-b', '-B', '-t' and '-T' are mutually exclusive.
-g Check if current HEAD is signed and has a valid GPG signature.
If current HEAD is a tag, the GPG signature of the tag is checked,
instead of the signature of the current commit.
For this to pass, you will also have to add your trusted
GPG public keys locally.
Returns:
Error, if not signed.
Warning, if signed, but pubkey is not available.
Warning, if signed, but pubkey is not trusted.
OK, if signed, pubkey is available and trusted.
'-g', and '-G' are mutually exclusive.
-G <hash>[,<hash>] Check if current HEAD is signed by the given key id (hash) and has a valid GPG signature.
You can separate multiple key-id's via comma without space.
key-id (hash) must be the last 8 characters (all uppercase) of the key.
If current HEAD is a tag, the GPG signature of the tag is checked,
instead of the signature of the current commit.
For this to pass, you will also have to add your trusted
GPG public keys locally.
Returns:
Error, if not signed.
Error, if signed with a different key-id.
Warning, if signed, but pubkey is not available.
Warning, if signed, but pubkey is not trusted.
OK, if signed, pubkey is available and trusted.
'-g', and '-G' are mutually exclusive.
