Visual Studio Community Run command after git commit

Question

every time I do a git commit I want to catch the repo log to a file, I want to publish the commit log to my website (internal page).

The git command is

git log --since='01-01-2019' > "$(ProjectDir)\Content\CurrentCommit.txt"

Because I don't know how to execute it after commit what I'm doing is to execute it at after build but I don't like it because it takes time and delays the program execution (and it isn't necessary to do it every time)

Any Idea?

Answer 1

Look at post-commit git hook . This is intended to be used for notification about commit. Hooks are located under the .git/hooks folder in your repo

Answer 2

You can use a git hook (specifically in this case, a post-commit hook) to run your command. Place your command in the file .git/hooks/post-commit :

#!/bin/sh
git log --since='01-01-2019' > "Content/CurrentCommit.txt"

You might need to adjust the directory of the file. The working directory of the git hook will be your repository root.
