For whatever reason, Git’s post-receive email hook is a hassle to configure, and ugly. How we do it.

1. cd ~git/repositories/XXXX/hooks
2. locate post-receive-email
3. cp YYY/post-receive-email .
4. emacs post-receieve-email
5. change recipients=YOUR MAILING LIST
6. change
   describe=$(git describe $rev 2>/dev/null)
   to
   describe=$(git log -1 —pretty=%s $rev)
7. change 
   Subject: ${emailprefix}$projectdesc $refname_type $short_refname ${change_type}d. $describe
   to
   Subject: [${emailprefix}$projectdesc $short_refname] $describe
8. change emailprefix=”
9. below “via $rev”, add             echo “https://YOUR_CGIT_SERVER/cgit/REPO/commit/?id=$rev”
10. emacs post-receive
11. uncomment sourcing of post-receive-email and include fully path to your new post-receive-email file
12. if committing is really slow / hangs, uninstall sendmail, install postfix
