get your commit log read in IRC live!

Something I whipped up after finding a lack of IRC Git bots. Simply posts the info on the commit and a shortened URL to the channel of your choosing

Requirements

• irccat - http://irccat.rubyforge.org/
• git
• curl

Install

On a server or localhost: sudo gem install irc_cat

Configure irc_cat by following the instructions.

In the git repository directory: nano hooks/post_commit

Paste the following, replacing things as needed.

#!/bin/bash
# remember to set URLHERE and PROJECTNAMHERE to your irc_cat tcp url and your indefero project title (respectively)
url=`git log -1 --format=%h`
curl=`curl -s http://is.gd/api.php?longurl=http://code.nookdevs.com/p/PROJECTNAMEHERE/source/commit/${url}`
git log -1 --format="[git] %an, %ar. %s ${curl}" | nc URLHERE 5678

Startup irc_cat, check that it joined your room, make a commit and ta-da! Live IRC notifications!
