I mentioned this a few months ago but it's a little more legit now, so
here's an update:
Commitify is a notify.io source, piping Github commit-push messages
through Notify.io. Once enabled by repository owners, any Notify.io user
can subscribe to be notified with a little note on every push to Github.
(It's especially nice if you're working on a distributed team and trying
not to step on each other's code-toes.) There's a provision for using a
secret key, so you can also use it for private repositories.
Upgrades since it launched:
* It's got a pre-built Github service hook -- repo owners just have to
check a box in Github admin
* It has its own domain: http://www.commitify.com
* You can now add your git-email, so you don't get notified about your
own commits.
It's been working great for me for five months; when Notify.io is down,
App Engine appears to queue the notifications, and I hear about them
eventually.
