Hi there,
I didn't get around to looking at all the resources provided in the below
email when it was sent. I know it was a fair while ago now, so not sure if
much has changed since.
1. TH1Hooks
In the Fossil TH1 documentation, I can find nothing regarding hooks. I also
can't seem to find anything regarding the sort of things I might want to do
after a commit, such as email, writing to files etc. I'm assuming TH1 can't
do this automatically and you've got to do some hackery to get that to work?
Especially if you want to send it to somewhere like Twitter like GitHub can
do.
2. timeline.rss
As it happens, I have never messed with RSS documents in my life so this
would be a totally new adventure. However I'm guessing that would still need
login credentials for private repositories, which would obviously make it
difficult for external scripts to access.
3. LibFossil
Turning from scripting to mainstream programming is much more complicated
than I originally anticipated, so trying to get LibFossil to work with
Fossil 2 repositories is a bit beyond me right now, so I guess that won't be
an option for a fair while.
4. JSON API:
The link for this only takes me to a GoogleDocs file so not quite sure how
it sits in Fossil itself...Even if it was fully functional I believe this
would have the same problem as the RSS - I.E. that it would need an
authenticated user for private repos.
If I could get it working, sounds to me like the TH1 option is the best, but
again, it's knowing how that works and how to do more complicated things
with it, as it only seems to list commands for checking different things in
the repository and dealing with data and variable rather than complicated
tasks like I/O or internet communication etc. On the other hand, I may even
be missing something totally obvious with the other options. I doubt email
would be possible at this moment, but even if I could make a script for
Fossil to send some kind of message to my main PC or have my main PC monitor
the repo somehow, for the time being, it would be better than nothing.
Cheers.
Damien.

There are several ways:
1. Tcl/TH1 script feature:
https://www.fossil-scm.org/index.html/doc/trunk/www/th1.md
You probably want to be looking at th1Hooks.
2. React after the fact by monitoring /timeline.rss. This is sufficient for
CI/CD integration, for example.
https://www.fossil-scm.org/index.html/help?cmd=/timeline.rss
3. libfossil:
http://fossil.wanderinghorse.net/repos/libfossil/index.cgi/wiki/home
Beware that it no longer works with Fossil 2.x repositories that use
non-SHA-1 hashes. That’d the the first thing someone would need to fix, if
they wanted to adopt the project.
