Gitstat

Display a nice webpage showing the status of a bunch of git repositories.

Good for shared staging servers and stuff. I'm sure that you don't need this if you have a sensible deployment strategy. But some people don't.

1. Copy the config_sample.ini file to config.ini.
2. Copy the example repository block as many times as you need. Make sure you leave the [General] block in there.
3. Set up a cron job to run php gitstat.php every ten minutes or so.
4. Make the directory servable. You probably want to be careful to not expose this to the outside world, as requesting gitstat.php repeatedly would be a fairly effective DOS attack. Stick a suitable .htaccess file in there or something.
5. Go to index.html in your browser. Hopefully you'll see a nice screen like the one above.

Note: this was a quick hack written at midnight on a sofa at BarCampBrighton5. Use at your own risk etc.
