Package: gicowa
Official documentationhere.gicowa.py - GitHub Commit WatcherGitHub’sWatchfeature doesn’t send notifications when commits are
pushed. This script aims to implement this feature and much more.Installation$ sudo apt-get install sendmail
$ sudo pip install gicowaQuick setupAdd the following line to your/etc/crontab:0 * * * * root gicowa --persist --no-color --mailto myself@mydomain.com lastwatchedcommits MyGitHubUsername sincelast > /tmp/gicowa 2>&1That’s it.As long as your machine is running you’ll get e-mails
when something gets pushed on a repo you’re watching.NOTES:The e-mails are likely to be considered as spam until you mark
one as non-spam in your e-mail client. Or use the--mailfromoption.If you’re watching 15 repos or more, you probably want to use the--credentialsoption to make sure you don’t hit the GitHub
API rate limit.Other/Advanced usagegicowais a generic command-line tool with which you can make much
more that just implementing the use case depicted in the introduction.

client is likely not to render the bash color escape sequences
properly.The e-mails are likely to be considered as spam until you mark
