For quite some time now, I have had this idea about collection of "gitshots". Basically idea is to create git hook that will capture image from webcam on every git commit. And here it is, Gitshot.
Capture image from command line
For this purpose you can use:
- streamer (Ubuntu)
streamer -c /dev/video0 -b 16 -o filename.jpeg - imagesnap (OS X)
imagesnap filename.jpg
Git Hooks, post-commit
Git has a way to fire off custom scripts when certain important actions occur. The hooks are all stored in the hooks subdirectory of the Git directory. In most projects, that’s .git/hooks. For our task we will use
post-commithook.
repository/.git/hooks/post-commit
Ubuntu version (github gist)
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
puts "[Cheese!]"
# Get some info about current commit
repository_name = `basename "$PWD"`.chop
commit_hash, commit_date = `git log -1 --pretty="%H%n%ci"`.split(/\r?\n/)
# Capture image and save it to ~/Pictures/gitshots/REPOSITORYNAME-TIMESTAMP-COMMITHASH.jpeg
exec "streamer -c /dev/video0 -b 16 -o ~/Pictures/gitshots/#{repository_name}_#{commit_date.gsub!(' ', '_')}_#{commit_hash}.jpeg"
exit 1
OS X Version (github gist)
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
puts "[Cheese!]"
# Get some info about current commit
repository_name = `basename "$PWD"`.chop
commit_hash, commit_date = `git log -1 --pretty="%H%n%ci"`.split(/\r?\n/)
# Capture image and save it to ~/Pictures/gitshots/REPOSITORYNAME-TIMESTAMP-COMMITHASH.jpeg
exec "imagesnap ~/Pictures/gitshots/#{repository_name}_#{commit_date.gsub!(' ', '_')}_#{commit_hash}.jpeg"
exit 1
And finally make this script executable repository$ sudo chmod +x .git/hooks/pre-commit
