Automatic git status emails
This is a basic, elementary script to audit a git working copy. This is useful to keep a watchful eye on cowboy coding on a client server.
Save the following inside your git repo as .git-status.sh. Make sure to add ‘.git-status.sh’ to your .gitignore file.
#!/bin/sh DOMAIN = "http://whatever.com" SENDTO = "your@email.com" MODIFICATIONS=`git status -s` if [ ! -z "$MODIFICATIONS" ] then SUBJECT = "git changes from $DOMAIN" EMAIL = "$SENDTO" BODY = "/tmp/emailbody.txt" echo "Changes found on the following paths:\n" > $EMAILBODY echo "$MODIFICATIONS" >> $EMAILBODY mail -s "$SUBJECT" "$EMAIL" < $EMAILBODY echo "$MODIFICATIONS" fi [/bash] To automate, add a crontab: [bash] 30 15 * * * /path/to/your/script/.git-status.sh 2>&1>> /dev/null
