Git hook to send email notification on repo changes

Question

How do I configure the appropriate Git hook to send a summary email whenever a set of changes is pushed to the upstream repository?

Answer 1

I managed to do this, but had to opt for using the contrib script, not the other (perl) script by Alexandre Julliard. It seems fancier and more configurable, but with postfix I had no mail command which would accept "-s"? Here's my way:

It would be nice to show some more info, like the full patch, gitweb link and commit graph as well, but this script can only do the first - if I play around with hooks.showrev it seems.

Anyway, cheers and thanks for the suggestions!
