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

[Kyrre Nygård]

Hi there,

Has anybody 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 has been made, with details like the summary, time and date, author and code differences.

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

I can't imagine anything better than a neat little Ruby script stacked inside my crontab. I'm still a rookie though, otherwise I'd have made my own already.

Maybe you can get some RSS/Atom feeds from these project, I did that
in the past with subtlety [1] for SVN respositories, and I think you
can use the feed generated in the web server that host your git
repositories (did that for Rubinius and some of the github ones).
