Git Selfie Mac

Requirements:

• OS X
• Git 2.9+
• ffmpeg

Prerequisites

Install ffmpeg with Homebrew.

brew install ffmpeg

If you don't have Homebrew, follow the official instructions of FFMPEG.

Check your git version:

git --version

In case you don't have git or your version is outdated, either use brew install git or download the latest version from the official site.

Setup

Check if you already have any global git hooks:

git config --global core.hooksPath

If output is not empty, run

ls $(git config --global core.hooksPath)

and check if there is already a file post-commit. Then follow corresponding guide below.

Setting up git-selfie as your first post-commit hook

If you already have git hooks folder configured, skip this step. otherwise, run it:

# Create and set git hooks folder
mkdir ~/.git_hooks
git config --global core.hooksPath ~/.git_hooks

Then clone the repository anywhere you want and copy the files.

git clone [email protected]:oshibka404/git-selfie-mac.git
cp git-selfie-mac/hook/* $(git config --global core.hooksPath)

Adding git-selfie to your existing post-commit hooks

git clone [email protected]:oshibka404/git-selfie-mac.git
cp git-selfie-mac/hook/webcam.sh $(git config --global core.hooksPath)

then open file post-commit with your favorite text editor and add this line there:

$(git config --global core.hooksPath)/webcam.sh

Finishing setup

Make sure that webcam.sh and post-commit can be executed:

chmod u+x ~/.git_hooks/webcam.sh ~/.git_hooks/post-commit
