have you ever wanted to lose all of your followers by tweeting every single commit message to the world?

adapted from: https://gist.github.com/kylefrost/f3841e76749dc64f4b5e

changed to do the actual twitter post in python using Tweepy because the oauth-sign and http-post install from tar.gz was giving me problems and python is just easier. hopefully this makes it a bit more usable for someone else. enjoy!

1. Get your developer tokens from https://apps.twitter.com/ and make sure your permissions are set to "Read and Write"

https://www.slickremix.com/docs/how-to-get-api-keys-and-tokens-for-twitter/

1a. Paste the 4 keys into the post_commit_hook.py in the section below.

def main(): # Get these values from https://apps.twitter.com/ # See more detailed instructions in the README.md cfg = { "consumer_key" : "YOUR VALUE", "consumer_secret" : "YOUR VALUE", "access_token" : "YOUR VALUE", "access_token_secret" : "YOUR VALUE" }

2. Install dependency (its just tweepy), run pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Go to the local repository that you want to have commits tweeted from and find the .git folder. Note that most operating systems have folders that start with "." hidden. To unhide folders on Mac OSX press Command+Shift+.

4. Place the 2 files post-commit and post_commit_hook.py from this repository into the your_repo/.git/hooks/ directory

5. Make the post-commit file executable by running chmod a+x post-commit from within your_repo/.git/hooks/ directory

6. Edit lines 5 and 28 in post-commit file to point to your repository's local directory and repository's git/hooks directory respectively. See below for an example of what your edits might look like:

Line 5: export PATH=$PATH:~/Desktop/Code/MyCodeRepository/.git/hooks Line 28: python ~/Desktop/Code/MyCodeRepository/.git/hooks/post_commit_hook.py $tweet 

Its still pretty early but if you have suggestions, thoughts, feedback, criticism, etc feel free to open a PR or submit an Issue.

Thanks in advance 😊

If ya feeling generous, hollr @ the kid ❤️
