Customize web hooks to listen to a repository

[Hemanth Acharya]

Hi All,

I am new to web hooks, so please bear with my naive questions :) 

I need to listen to a repository for the git commits and send the payload across to some other URL through rest calls. I have seen the GitHub plugin which does this job for the repos in GitHub, how can I replicate the same for any git repo which is not GitHub hosted?  Can you post some pointers where I can start from?

Thanks,

Hemanth

Hemanth,

Git supports both client and server side actions via your own scripts. Have a look here to see what's possible:

Best,

jhh

It sounds like progrium’s gitreceive is exactly what you want: https://github.com/progrium/gitreceive
