To use the Python version (created in a Python 3.4 environment) you will need to install some modules:
pip install BeautifulSoup4 requests
To use the Bash shell script version wget needs to be installed.
If you don't know if wget exists on the machine check for it with:
which wget
If the path to wget does not show, it's not installed.
Move the script into the hooks directory of the desired repo and re-initialise:
mv post-commit.py /path/to/repo/.git/hooks/post-commit
cd /path/to/repo/
git init
Note: There is no file extension when planted into the hooks directory. It is just "post-commit".
Set a global store of all the Git hooks like so:
git config --global init.templatedir '/path/to/global/git_templates'
mkdir -p /path/to/global/git_templates/hooks
mv post-commit.py /path/to/global/git_templates/hooks/post-commit
To update existing repos, re-initialise:
git init
The example command line instructions reference the Python script. To use the Bash shell script instead, swap out post-commit.py for post-commit.sh.
