3 """Example post-receive hook based on git-multimail.
5 This script is a simple example of a post-receive hook implemented
6 using git_multimail.py as a Python module. It is intended to be
7 customized before use; see the comments in the script to help you get
10 It is possible to use git_multimail.py itself as a post-receive or
11 update hook, configured via git config settings and/or command-line
12 parameters. But for more flexibility, it can also be imported as a
13 Python module by a custom post-receive script as done here. The
14 latter has the following advantages:
16 * The tool's behavior can be customized using arbitrary Python code,
17 without having to edit git_multimail.py.
19 * Configuration settings can be read from other sources; for example,
20 user names and email addresses could be read from LDAP or from a
21 database. Or the settings can even be hardcoded in the importing
22 Python script, if this is preferred.
24 This script is a very basic example of how to use git_multimail.py as
25 a module. The comments below explain some of the points at which the
26 script's behavior could be changed or customized.
33 # If necessary, add the path to the directory containing
34 # git_multimail.py to the Python path as follows. (This is not
35 # necessary if git_multimail.py is in the same directory as this
38 #LIBDIR = 'path/to/directory/containing/module'
39 #sys.path.insert(0, LIBDIR)
