Hi Steven,

This script should be run by the git server automatically. Just save a copy in hooks/post-receive in the git directory on the server side. It will be invoked automatically by git when you push to the repository.

I installed the script but when I execute it in the terminal I get this error:
“GIT_DIR not set”

Any idea on how I can set my GIT_DIR variable
I suspect I have to do it here:

# — Config
# Set GIT_DIR either from the working directory, or from the environment
# variable.
GIT_DIR=$(git rev-parse –git-dir 2>/dev/null)
if [ -z "$GIT_DIR" ]; then
echo >&2 “fatal: post-receive: GIT_DIR not set”
exit 1
fi

This script is designed to be automatically invoked by git rather than for run from command line.

You may consider adapting it for command line use if you like. The source code can be downloaded in the link in the post.

Hi Rainer,

You can find out the lines that have the msg_count and comment them out to bypass these warnings (there are only several lines). It seems the bash on your computer doesn’t support the ((msg_count+=1)) operation.

Nice to know that you find the script useful ;)

aaah, thanks for the quick reply!

i managed to find the -S option and took it out. had to also remove -r and now i’m happily sending mails, thanks!

still have ugly output, though, something is wrong around the msg_count variable:

Counting objects: 5, done.
Delta compression using up to 2 threads.
Total 3 (delta 2), reused 0 (delta 0)
hooks/post-receive: 706: msg_count+=1: not found
[: 706: ==: unexpected operator
hooks/post-receive: 706: msg_count+=1: not found
[: 706: ==: unexpected operator
hooks/post-receive: 706: msg_count+=1: not found
[: 706: ==: unexpected operator
hooks/post-receive: 706: msg_count+=1: not found

hooks/post-receive: 706: msg_count+=1: not found

cat: /tmp/git-email-subject-10682: No such file or directory
…
but things work! thanks!
