Configuring Git to Send Commit Notices

Commit emails for MariaDB are sent to [e-mail]. You can find the archive here.

To allow others to see what you are working on in your MariaDB tree, you should:

1. subscribe to the email list

2. configure git to send your commits to [e-mail].

Download the post-commit git trigger script. Configure as

git config --global hooks.postcommitrecipients "[e-mail]"
git config --global hooks.postcommitbranches "*"

Also you might want to check the README for the post-commit trigger.

The post-commit git trigger uses sendmail for sending emails. Some platforms don't have sendmail and then you'll need to modify to make use of something that is supported.

Also, the post-commit trigger is just one approach. You can also use git-email on at least Debian and Fedora to send commit emails to the MariaDB commits email list.
