Tired of having maximum 2 collaborators who are allowed to get github notifications on your private repositories ? Then this script does the job for you !
-
Configure the script mail_repo_example.sh by adding your local repo folder path, your gmail email address, your password (caution !), the email address you want to send your message to, the subject of the message.
-
Use for instance cron to run the script every hour for example : 0 * * * * . /path/to/the/script/mail_repo_example.sh
-
Configure maybe your gmail account : go to security and then allowed less secured applications to be run.
-
That's all folks !
Cron will execute every hour your script which will fetch new commits of your repository. It will send you an email with the details of the fetched data if it finds new commits !
