alandotcom / commit-msg
Created August 26, 2013 15:20
A commit-msg shell function to insert hyper-links to JIRA issues directly into the commits that are related. We use Gerrit for code-review, so this also takes into account that a changeID may exist in the commit message. Adding the link is simply a matter of putting the JIRA issue tag in the commit message header surrounded by brackets. Multiple…
#!bin/bash
MSG="$1"
# Add JIRA hyperlinks to the end of the commmit message
# Using ggrep (gnu grep) and
add_JiraUrl() {
# Get all the JIRA numbers from the commit heading e.g., [AIP-2024][APPS-2000]
JIRA=$(cat $MSG | head -n 1 | ggrep -Po '(?<=\[)[A-Z]*[\-]\d*(?=\])')

When working with the SuperFeedr REST API it is important to understand the notifications that SuperFeedr will send to your server.

I am using th JSON response here, as the format is familiar and easy to parse using the Ruby API.

Receiving feed updates

After successfully subscribing to a feed, SuperFeedr will send notifications to the callback URI specified during the subscription process.
