Webcam snapshot each time you commit

grumpy

A git hook that takes a webcam snapshot at each commit.

setup

• install python requirements

sudo pip install -r requirements.txt

• create a config.ini file and adapt the following content

[folders]
pictures_directory=/home/you/.gitshots

• create a pre-commit hook and configure git

mkdir -p ~/.git-template/hooks touch ~/.git-template/hooks/pre-commit

• put the code below in the pre-commit file (adapt the path to take-picture.py if necessary)

#!/bin/bash
python ~/grumpy/take-picture.py

• make the file executable

chmod o+x ~/.git-template/hooks/pre-commit

• "activate" your init dir

git config --global init.templatedir "~/.git-template"

• adapt your PICTURES_DIRECTORY: in take-picture.py, set PICTURES_DIRECTORY to the local folder of your choice
• Run git init in your existing git repos. The hook will kick in automatically in your new repos while they are being configured. For the existing ones, running git init will update the configuration.

uploads to AWS S3

By default, take-picture.py will store shots on your local filesystem. You can use s3.py to upload your shots in an s3 bucket and remove the local version.
