Subversion and twitter – Keep your followers up to date with your code commits
Posted by Buzz in python, twitterSome two months after the fact, I thought it may well be time to post a blog on this little code snippet.
As some of you have noticed every commit message to my subversion repository is infact updating my twitter.
This code was uploaded to subversion on 10/06/2009, so sorry for the late write up!
Requirements
Python 2.5 or higher
Subversion server
Installation
- svn co http://svn.saiweb.co.uk/branches/python/svn_tweeter.py /usr/bin/svn_tweeter
- chmod +x /usr/bin/svn_tweeter
- cd /path/to/svn/hooks
- Edit post-commit with your favorite text editor
1 2 | REPOS="$1" REV="$2" |
1 |
1 | /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/svn_tweeter -u twitterusername -p twitterpassword -r $REV -s $REPOS |
Now try a commit, and check your syslog for entries from the script.

UPDATE 24/03/2011 Twitter has removed basic authentication, you must use oauth (admittedly it has been like this for a fair while now) use this nagios_bot insteadTweet
