notifyGitProjectd

This is a Linux daemon that checks every hour whether a github repository has been pushed to. A notification is sent every hour with the relevant information.

Set up

1. Install the golang toolchain.
2. In cmd/notifyGitProjectd, run go build to produce an executable named notifyGitProjectd.
3. Add a .env in cmd/notifyGitProjectd with the key GH_TOKEN and a GitHub personal access token with the requirement of reading user repositories.

To make this a linux daemon:

4. Create a /etc/systemd/system/notifyGitProjectd.service, with the contents:

[Unit]
Description=Notify Git Project

[Service]
ExecStart=<PATH-TO-PROJECT>/notifyGitProjectd/cmd/notifyGitProjectd/notifyGitProjectd <OWNER-OF-REPO> <REPO-NAME>
WorkingDirectory=<PATH-TO-PROJECT>/notifyGitProjectd/cmd/notifyGitProjectd/
Restart=always
User=<USERNAME>

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl start notifyGitProjectd
sudo systemctl enable notifyGitProjectd
sudo systemctl status notifyGitProjectd
