Git Watcher

Git Watcher is a lightweight open-source project inspired in the original "Git Watcher" program used by The Chromium Project and other projects which use Monorail. When a change is merged and its commit references bugs, a message is published in those bugs with a summary of the change (and optionally also closing the bug).

Set up

1. First, set up Gerrit. Install the events-gcloud-pubsub plugin and set it to publish messages to a Pub/Sub topic set up in your Google Cloud project.
2. Set up Git Watcher:
   • Create a service account in your Google Cloud project.
   • Give it permission to use the Monorail API.
   • Give it appropiate permissions in each Monorail project.
   • Create subdirectory //secret/ and download the service accounts credentials JSON file to //secret/credentials.json.
   • Run make docker-prod and docker-compose up -d.
