Gitblit HipChat plugin

REQUIRES 1.5.0

The Gitblit HipChat plugin provides realtime integration for your HipChat team. The plugin inject events into a room for branch or tag changes and ticket changes.

Installation

This plugin is referenced in the Gitblit Plugin Registry and you may install it using SSH with an administrator account.

ssh host plugin refresh
ssh host plugin install hipchat
ssh host plugin ls

Alternatively, you can download the zip from here manually copy it to your ${baseFolder}/plugins directory.

Setup

At a bare minimum you'll need two settings configured in gitblit.properties.

hipchat.defaultRoom = aRoom
hipchat.defaultToken = aToken

If you have the powertools plugin installed, you may configure this over SSH:

ssh host gb config hipchat.defaultRoom aRoom
ssh host gb config hipchat.defaultToken aToken

There a handful of additional optional settings:

hipchat.useProjectRooms = false
hipchat.postPersonalRepos = false
hipchat.postTickets = true
hipchat.postTicketComments = true
hipchat.postBranches = true
hipchat.postTags = true

hipchat.useProjectRooms

hipchat.useProjectRooms allows you to shard Gitblit activity by the repository project. This may fit better with any security model you may have in place. These rooms must already exist in HipChat, the plugin will not create them for you.

How are project rooms named?

If project rooms are named as hipchat.defaultRoom -project, where project is the first directory element of the repository path. If project is empty, the hipchat.defaultRoom is used.

hipchat.defaultRoom = gb
hipchat.defaultToken = aToken
hipchat.useProjectRooms = true
hipchat.gb-network.token = 12345

• For the network/a/b/myrepo.git repository, the HipChat room would be gb-network.
• For the test.git repository, the HipChat room would be gb.

Usage

Ticket Hook

The ticket hook is automatic.

Receive Hook

The receive hook is automatic.

SSH Commands (optional)

This plugin also provides a generic mechanism to inject messages into a HipChat room. These commands require administrator permissions.

ssh host hipchat test
ssh host hipchat send myroom -m "'this is a test'"
