Question
In an SVN post commit hook, how can I get the user who executed the commit?
Solution
Using the svnlook
command with author
. For example, in a shell script, it might be:
REPOS="$1"
REV="$2"
AUTHOR="$(svnlook author -r $REV $REPOS)"
OTHER TIPS
post-commit
hook script example:
#!/bin/sh
REPOS="$1"
REV="$2"
AUTHOR="$(svnlook author $REPOS -r $REV)"
# output on STDERR will be marshalled back to SVN client
echo "This transaction was commited by '$AUTHOR'!" 1>&2
exit 0
The second parameter to your post-commit script will be the revision number - you can use this to query SVN for whatever information you need.
