Hi there, Hasanybody ever written a script that keeps track of your favorite Git(and SVN) projects? E.g. sends you an e-mail every time a revision hasbeen made, with details like the summary, time and date, author andcode differences.

I've modified a few projects to my liking, somuch that any change made to the original would have to be addedmanually. I also think it would be a great way to learn.

I can'timagine anything better than a neat little Ruby script stacked insidemy crontab. I'm still a rookie though, otherwise I'd have made my ownalready.

I don't know of a "subscribe to a source repository" program myself, actually.

It does seem interesting!

The other thing you might do is run git-svn nightly, and have post-commit hook for git that emails out the diffs you like.

Whatever you do, keep me posted!

Why not subscribe to the gitweb of each one via your RSS reader?

Re: A script that keeps track of your favorite Git/SVN projects?

i guess, but it'd be a lot simpler (not to mention cuter) to let a ruby script just bring me the reports instead of me having to go fetch them myself :)

is anyone down to perhaps make one? i'm only so-so with ruby, but i can design a hella fly project page? or some other stuff if somebody's up for a skill swap. i design big brands and skyscrapers for a living.
