IRC bot which sends commit messages on a channel when a git push is done on a local repository.

Eg:

< gitbot> [repo] [John Doe] story 182: Fix benchmarks for speed
< gitbot> [repo] [Paul Robert] revert 86b09c33

Configuration

The configuration is a JSON file. SOCKADDR variable in gitirc.sh must reflect value in JSON file.

By default, only pushes on master branch are tracked. If you want to track several branches, modify the condition on ref_name in gitirc.sh. For example, to watch master and dev : :

if [ "$ref_name" = 'refs/heads/master' ] || [ "$ref_name" = 'refs/heads/dev' ]

Installation

Install gitirc.sh as a post-receive hook in $GIT_DIR/hooks:

cp ~/git-irc-notification/gitirc.sh $repo/hooks/post-receive

If several repos are being watched, a symbolic link may be cleaner:

for repo in r1.git r2.git; do
  ln -s ~/git-irc-notification/gitirc.sh $repo/hooks/post-receive
done

Once hook is installed, run: :

./gitirc.py config.json

Requirements

python-irclib, netcat
