From bbae39da3b36c86a91d709ff169c4dd8b26f9284 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Carl Worth Date: Wed, 11 Dec 2013 10:46:28 -0800 Subject: docs: Add a pointer to the git post-receive hook I had to stumble upon this feature before I realized it was here inside the tools directory all along. This documentation should make it easier for the next person coming along looking for a patchwork git hook.

Optional: Configure your VCS to automatically update patches + + The tools directory of the patchwork distribution contains a file + named post-receive.hook which is an example git hook that can be + used to automatically update patches to the Accepted state when + corresponding comits are pushed via git. + + To install this hook, simply copy it to the .git/hooks directory on + your server, name it post-receive, and make it executable. + + This sample hook has support to update patches to different states + depending on which branch is being pushed to.
