Customizing the content and formatting of emails
================================================
Overloading template strings
----------------------------
The content of emails is generated based on template strings defined
in ``git_multimail.py``. You can customize these template strings
without changing the script itself, by defining a Python wrapper
around it. The python wrapper should ``import git_multimail`` and then
override the ``git_multimail.*`` strings like this::
import sys # needed for sys.argv
# Import and customize git_multimail:
import git_multimail
git_multimail.REVISION_INTRO_TEMPLATE = """..."""
git_multimail.COMBINED_INTRO_TEMPLATE = git_multimail.REVISION_INTRO_TEMPLATE
# start git_multimail itself:
git_multimail.main(sys.argv[1:])
The template strings can use any value already used in the existing
templates (read the source code).
Using HTML in template strings
------------------------------
If ``multimailhook.commitEmailFormat`` is set to HTML, then
git-multimail will generate HTML emails for commit notifications. The
log and diff will be formatted automatically by git-multimail. By
default, any HTML special character in the templates will be escaped.
To use HTML formatting in the introduction of the email, set
``multimailhook.htmlInIntro`` to ``true``. Then, the template can
contain any HTML tags, that will be sent as-is in the email. For
example, to add some formatting and a link to the online commit, use
a format like::
git_multimail.REVISION_INTRO_TEMPLATE = """\
<span style="color:#808080">This is an automated email from the git hooks/post-receive script.</span><br /><br />
<strong>%(pusher)s</strong> pushed a commit to %(refname_type)s %(short_refname)s
in repository %(repo_shortname)s.<br />
<a href="https://github.com/git-multimail/git-multimail/commit/%(newrev)s">View on GitHub</a>.
"""
Note that the values expanded from ``%(variable)s`` in the format
strings will still be escaped.
For a less flexible but easier to set up way to add a link to commit
emails, see ``multimailhook.commitBrowseURL``.
Similarly, one can set ``multimailhook.htmlInFooter`` and override any
of the ``*_FOOTER*`` template strings.

Setting up git-multimail on Gerrit
==================================
Gerrit has its own email-sending system, but you may prefer using
``git-multimail`` instead. It supports Gerrit natively as a Gerrit
``ref-updated`` hook (Warning: `Gerrit hooks
<https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/Documentation/config-hooks.html>`__
are distinct from Git hooks). Setting up ``git-multimail`` on a Gerrit
installation can be done following the instructions below.
The explanations show an easy way to set up ``git-multimail``,
but leave ``git-multimail`` installed and unconfigured for a while. If
you run Gerrit on a production server, it is advised that you
execute the step "Set up the hook" last to avoid confusing your users
in the meantime.
Set up the hook
---------------
Create a directory ``$site_path/hooks/`` if it does not exist (if you
don't know what ``$site_path`` is, run ``gerrit.sh status`` and look
for a ``GERRIT_SITE`` line). Either copy ``git_multimail.py`` to
``$site_path/hooks/ref-updated`` or create a wrapper script like
this::
#! /bin/sh
exec /path/to/git_multimail.py "$@"
In both cases, make sure the file is named exactly
``$site_path/hooks/ref-updated`` and is executable.
(Alternatively, you may configure the ``[hooks]`` section of
gerrit.config)
Configuration
-------------
Log on the gerrit server and edit ``$site_path/git/$project/config``
to configure ``git-multimail``.
Troubleshooting
---------------
Warning: this will disable ``git-multimail`` during the debug, and
could confuse your users. Don't run on a production server.
To debug configuration issues with ``git-multimail``, you can add the
``--stdout`` option when calling ``git_multimail.py`` like this::
#!/bin/sh
exec /path/to/git-multimail/git-multimail/git_multimail.py \
--stdout "$@" >> /tmp/log.txt
and try pushing from a test repository. You should see the source of
the email that would have been sent in the output of ``git push`` in
the file ``/tmp/log.txt``.

Setting up git-multimail on gitolite
====================================
``git-multimail`` supports gitolite 3 natively.
The explanations below show an easy way to set up ``git-multimail``,
but leave ``git-multimail`` installed and unconfigured for a while. If
you run gitolite on a production server, it is advised that you
execute the step "Set up the hook" last to avoid confusing your users
in the meantime.
Set up the hook
---------------
Log in as your gitolite user.
Create a file ``.gitolite/hooks/common/post-receive`` on your gitolite
account containing (adapt the path, obviously)::
#!/bin/sh
exec /path/to/git-multimail/git-multimail/git_multimail.py "$@"
Make sure it's executable (``chmod +x``). Record the hook in
gitolite::
gitolite setup
Configuration
-------------
First, you have to allow the admin to set Git configuration variables.
As gitolite user, edit the line containing ``GIT_CONFIG_KEYS`` in file
``.gitolite.rc``, to make it look like::
GIT_CONFIG_KEYS => 'multimailhook\..*',
You can now log out and return to your normal user.
In the ``gitolite-admin`` clone, edit the file ``conf/gitolite.conf``
and add::
repo @all
# Not strictly needed as git_multimail.py will chose gitolite if
# $GL_USER is set.
config multimailhook.environment = gitolite
config multimailhook.mailingList = # Where emails should be sent
config multimailhook.from = # From address to use
Note that by default, gitolite forbids ``<`` and ``>`` in variable
values (for security/paranoia reasons, see
`compensating for UNSAFE_PATT
<http://gitolite.com/gitolite/git-config/index.html#compensating-for-unsafe95patt>`__
in gitolite's documentation for explanations and a way to disable
this). As a consequence, you will not be able to use ``First Last
<First.Last@example.com>`` as recipient email, but specifying
``First.Last@example.com`` alone works.
Obviously, you can customize all parameters on a per-repository basis by
adding these ``config multimailhook.*`` lines in the section
corresponding to a repository or set of repositories.
To activate ``git-multimail`` on a per-repository basis, do not set
``multimailhook.mailingList`` in the ``@all`` section and set it only
for repositories for which you want ``git-multimail``.
Alternatively, you can set up the ``From:`` field on a per-user basis
by adding a ``BEGIN USER EMAILS``/``END USER EMAILS`` section (see
``../README``).
Specificities of Gitolite for Configuration
-------------------------------------------
Empty configuration variables
.............................
With gitolite, the syntax ``config multimailhook.commitList = ""``
unsets the variable instead of setting it to an empty string (see
`here
<http://gitolite.com/gitolite/git-config.html#an-important-warning-about-deleting-a-config-line>`__).
As a result, there is no way to set a variable to the empty string.
In all most places where an empty value is required, git-multimail
now allows to specify special ``"none"`` value (case-sensitive) to
mean the same.
Alternatively, one can use ``" "`` (a single space) instead of ``""``.
In most cases (in particular ``multimailhook.*List`` variables), this
will be equivalent to an empty string.
If you have a use-case where ``"none"`` is not an acceptable value and
you need ``" "`` or ``""`` instead, please report it as a bug to
git-multimail.
Allowing Regular Expressions in Configuration
.............................................
gitolite has a mechanism to prevent unsafe configuration variable
values, which prevent characters like ``|`` commonly used in regular
expressions. If you do not need the safety feature of gitolite and
need to use regular expressions in your configuration (e.g. for
``multimailhook.refFilter*`` variables), set
`UNSAFE_PATT
<http://gitolite.com/gitolite/git-config.html#unsafe-patt>`__ to a
less restrictive value.
Troubleshooting
---------------
Warning: this will disable ``git-multimail`` during the debug, and
could confuse your users. Don't run on a production server.
To debug configuration issues with ``git-multimail``, you can add the
``--stdout`` option when calling ``git_multimail.py`` like this::
#!/bin/sh
exec /path/to/git-multimail/git-multimail/git_multimail.py --stdout "$@"
and try pushing from a test repository. You should see the source of
the email that would have been sent in the output of ``git push``.

Troubleshooting issues with git-multimail: a FAQ
================================================
How to check that git-multimail is properly set up?
---------------------------------------------------
Since version 1.4.0, git-multimail allows a simple self-checking of
its configuration: run it with the environment variable
``GIT_MULTIMAIL_CHECK_SETUP`` set to a non-empty string. You should
get something like this::
$ GIT_MULTIMAIL_CHECK_SETUP=true /home/moy/dev/git-multimail/git-multimail/git_multimail.py
Environment values:
administrator : 'the administrator of this repository'
charset : 'utf-8'
emailprefix : '[git-multimail] '
fqdn : 'anie'
projectdesc : 'UNNAMED PROJECT'
pusher : 'moy'
repo_path : '/home/moy/dev/git-multimail'
repo_shortname : 'git-multimail'
Now, checking that git-multimail's standard input is properly set ...
Please type some text and then press Return
foo
You have just entered:
foo
git-multimail seems properly set up.
If you forgot to set an important variable, you may get instead::
$ GIT_MULTIMAIL_CHECK_SETUP=true /home/moy/dev/git-multimail/git-multimail/git_multimail.py
No email recipients configured!
Do not set ``$GIT_MULTIMAIL_CHECK_SETUP`` other than for testing your
configuration: it would disable the hook completely.
Git is not using the right address in the From/To/Reply-To field
----------------------------------------------------------------
First, make sure that git-multimail actually uses what you think it is
using. A lot happens to your email (especially when posting to a
mailing-list) between the time `git_multimail.py` sends it and the
time it reaches your inbox.
A simple test (to do on a test repository, do not use in production as
it would disable email sending): change your post-receive hook to call
`git_multimail.py` with the `--stdout` option, and try to push to the
repository. You should see something like::
Counting objects: 3, done.
Writing objects: 100% (3/3), 263 bytes | 0 bytes/s, done.
Total 3 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0)
