# Second Look

Second Look is an endpoint for a GitHub post-receive hook. It will send an email to one or more developers based on the

contents of the new commits, requesting a code review.

I blatantly stole this idea from [reviewthis](https://github.com/supermatter/reviewthis), which you should definitely go

check out.

## Setup

Set a [post-receive hook](https://help.github.com/articles/post-receive-hooks) on your GitHub repository to

> ec2-54-213-58-191.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com

## Usage

Simply include one or more **\user** or **\user@domain** patterns in a commit message, which correspond to GitHub

usernames and email addresses. Those people will be notified by email to review your commit.

Example:

> $ git commit -m "Buncha hacks. Make sure I don't bomb the Russians, \chebert"

>

> ... work work work ...

>

> $ git commit -m "more hax \chebert \[email protected]"

### \username? What gives? Why not @username? Everybody's doin' it.

GitHub will already automatically send out an email when you mention a user with @, by default.

### GitHub comes with this feature out-of-the-box? Then what's the point of all this?

I truly was not aware of the @username feature of GitHub until I started testing this application :(. That being said, I

think the emails sent by Second Look are much nicer looking :). Try it out!

### Known Issues

GitHub may change the format of the [POST payload](https://help.github.com/articles/post-receive-hooks#the-payload) (in

fact, it's currently out of date!). When this happens, the server breaks. Rest assured, though, that these occurrences

should be few and far between, and I will promptly fix them when they do occur.
