Hi,

Hooking up with a code repository is a deliverable. I was doing some research regarding the same while trying to fix the logout issue in the tests, about which I talked in the last mail.The system should associate each accepted proposal with a code repository, and periodically notify the mentor when a commit is made, and put up some commit info on the 'Code Repository' section in the Project. 

The plan was to keep the URL of the .git files, use an appropriate git command periodically to find the commit info remotely, then notify the mentor when a new commit is made, and put that information on the Code Repository page. Though the 'git log' command does well to print the log of a local git repository, I could not find a way to get the logs of a remote repository without cloning it on the local machine, or ssh-ing into the server machine, both of which are not suitable. If you know of a way to do this, please let me know.

Currently as a temporary alternative I have written a script that can be run as a cron job periodically to fetch commit info from github repositories using the github API [0]. Though this is an easy alternative, but it would be great if the previous issue can be resolved.
