This repository contains various Git hooks designed to be used on a Git server. These hooks were written to run from behind a web server (Apache) configured with authentication (AuthNZ).

Currently, there is a post-receive hook that generates and emails HTML commit diffs and a pre-receive hook that will reject commits if the commit message is incorrectly formatted (missing specific commit information, not the correct user, incorrect merge commits, etc).

Sends HTML emails out after a commit has been successfully pushed to a shared repository.

This script is an adaptation of the original Git contrib post-receive email hook (as taken from the latest git-contrib on Ubuntu). However, this version sends out an HTML email containing a colorized version of the git diff.

Additionally, many of the changes/enhancements/ideas in this script were adopted from a post on chomperstomp.com.

Uses pygmentize, a command line Python script that will generate HTML for different file syntaxes (C, PHP, diff, etc). In this script, pygmentize generates "colorized" HTML from the git diff.

Unlike other HTML post-receive hooks available, this one does not use any extra frameworks/templating languages to generate a simple HTML diff and email.

In addition to configuration options available in the original post-receive contrib script, there are a couple of other options that have been enabled:

• hooks.httplink - Prefix to a web based tracker, ie 'https:///git?cs='
• hooks.defaultdomain - Default domain to affix to the $REMOTE_USER environment variable. Assumes this is being executed through HTTP
• hooks.fromaddress - Static From-address. if not set, the From-address is constructed by affixing the $REMOTE_USER to hooks.defaultdomain
• hooks.pygmentizeoptions - Options to pass to pygmentize -- for example, to set the pygmentize style to 'github' set this value to: 'style=github'

Make sure that pygmentize is installed:

sudo aptitude install -y python-pygments

To install:

cd ~/src/
git clone https://github.com/kenshaw/githooks.git
ln -s ~/src/githooks/post-receive /var/lib/git/<repo>/hooks
cd /var/lib/git/<repo>
git config hooks.mailinglist '<some email address>'
git config hooks.defaultdomain '<default domain address of the sender>'
git config hooks.emailprefix '[GIT] '
git config hooks.httplink 'https://<your host>/git?cs='
echo "<my project name>" > description

• Get rid of pygmentize dependency
• Update post-receive hook to make diffs look better (ala FishEye/GitHub)
• Add JIRA integration to look up the authenticated user's fullname and/or use an alias file

Verifies that a commit message is correctly formatted.

• Document it here
• Better JIRA integration
• Correct checking
• Change from Perl to SH or something
