post-receive-http

This hook sends repository updates using HTTP POST requests. The format of the commit payload is the same as Github uses for its service hooks.

Requirements

• Ruby (>=1.8.6)

• Some gems: json, grit

Installation

Download it into your bare repository’s hooks/ directory and make it executable

curl -o hooks/post-receive http://github.com/nodeta/post-receive-http/raw/master/post-receive
chmod +x hooks/post-receive

Configuration

Using Flowdock’s Git integration as an example:

Set the destination URL

git config httphook.url https://api.flowdock.com/v1/git

You can similarly specify arbitrary parameters to be added in the requests

git config httphook.token FOOBARXYZ123

Example content

api_token FOOBARXYZ123
