`watch-vcs-tags` ================ Scripts that given a list of repository roots as arguments look for new tags available on remote systems, and report the repository name and a tab-indented list of new tags, if any. Presently only `watch-git-tags` is implemented (well, published). This is all implemented in POSIX `sh`, but does require a `mktemp(1)` implementation that supports the `-d` option to create temporary directories. $ watch-git-tags ~/.local/src/ed/vim /home/tom/.local/src/ed/vim v8.0.0858 You can install it in `/usr/local/bin` with: # make install You can define a `PREFIX` to install it elsewhere: $ make install PREFIX="$HOME"/.local If you keep a list of your repository paths in a file like `~/.watch-git-tags`, you could put this in a `crontab(5)` task to email you new tags: xargs watch-git-tags < ~/.watch-git-tags-repos Another option is to watch all repositories in a specific directory: watch-git-tags "$HOME"/.local/src/watch/* License ------- Copyright (c) [Tom Ryder][1].
