We love to
create building blocks that fuel user's imaginations. Today we are announcing
Post-Commit Web
Hooksfor Project Hosting on Google Code, to
allow web services to receive repository commit notifications. Projects can use
this feature to integrate with all kinds of external tools, including continuous build
systems, bug trackers, project metrics, and social networks. The notification follows the
Web Hooks model, and is delivered as an HTTP POST
request containing a JSON commit description.
To help get
you started, we've created an example application
that performs various tests that are useful for managing documentation. You can find the
source code in the contenthooks open source
project. We would love
to hear feedback about new and interesting uses of Post-Commit Web
Hooks!
