I am attempting to use git-multimail with gitolite to email users of updates - it was fairly straightforward to set up following the instructions https://github.com/git-multimail/git-multimail/blob/master/doc/gitolite.rst but I do not want multiple emails to be sent on push, only 1 summary email that appears in the same vein as
git log --pretty=format:'%Cred%h%Creset -%C(yellow)%d%Creset %s %Cgreen(%cr)%Creset %ae' --abbrev-commit --date=relative 2da4f6e7..418b7f1b
I have tried a number of things, but my current git config --list looks like
multimailhook.logopts=--pretty=format:"%Cred%h%Creset -%C(yellow)%d%Creset %s %Cgreen(%cr)%Creset %ae"
multimailhook.commitemailformat=html
multimailhook.announceshortlog=true
multimailhook.refchangeshowlog=true
The email is sent via html (colors come through), but none of the formatting is coming through - nothing I have tried has made any difference in the email content, nor quantity of emails that are sent.
To send just one summary (refchange) email you need to stop multimail to send commit emails. To configure this you need to disable multimailhook.commitList: set it to none or an empty string:
git config multimailhook.commitList none
