dinoboff / notify-webhook

Git post-receive web hook notifier in Python.

notify-webhook

notify-webhook is a git post-receive hook script that posts JSON data to a web hook capable server.

This implements the GitHub Web hooks API as closely as possible. It allows arbitrary git repositories to use Web hook capable services.

As an example, this script works very well with commitbot which sends commit notifications to XMPP group chat rooms.
