In basic form notifier contents should be filled as explained in GitLab notifier Config section, for example:

notifier:
    mail_config:
        host: mail.example.com
        port: 587
        user: notifier@example.com
        password: currently_stored_as_plain_text
    projects:
        test-project:
            - match:
                - test1.txt
                - test/file1.txt
              mailing_list:
                - john@gmail.com
                - sam@gmail.com
            - mailing_list:
                - sam@gmail.com
              match:
                - test1.txt
                - test/*
              ignore:
                - file3.txt

mail_config — Credentials of the mail server account which will send the notifications.

projects — section, describing GitLab-projects which are being tracked.

test-project — name of the project. That one which you see in your browser address bar: gitlab.com/username/test-project. In our case this should be the name of our foliant-project in GitLab.

Next goes a list with tracking settings. Each group can have following sections:

mailing_list — list of email-addresses, which will receive notifications.

match — list of glob-like patterns. If files in the repository, which match these patterns, are changed, script will send notifications to the mailing_list, set up in this group.

ignore — list of glob-like patterns of files to ignore.
