Get notified when your remote git repository got updated!
Project description
Time2Pull is small application that monitors your local git repositories and warns you when a remote got updated, i.e. it’s time to pull!
This is particularly useful if you’re working with a centralised workflow (where all developers pull and push from a central repository) and want to be quickly notified anytime the remote got updated.
How does it work?
First, you add the paths to the local repositories you would like to monitor.
Then, the application will scan the added repositories every minutes to detect remote status changes.
The scan simply consists in calling the two following git commands and parsing their output:
$ git remote update $ git status -uno
If the repository is behind its origin, the application will warn you by displaying a message in the system tray and by playing an alert sound.

There is no binary packages for linux yet. I won’t make them myself but I am ready to help packagers who would like to volunteer, if any.
You will need to install from source (or from pypi).
Note: the directives are given for a debian based distribution, you should adapt the commands to suit your distribution.

Known issues
Tray icon does not show on Gnome 3:
This seems to be a PyQt5 bug. You will need the top icons shell extension to view the tray icon.
