Enabling Git Repository Notifications

You can enable Git repository notifications via the REST API as shown below:

Overview

Description	Enable notifications to be received from the Git repository.
Resource Path	`/repo/notify`
HTTP Method	`POST`
Request/Response Format	`application/JSON`
Command format	curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d @'<JSON_PAYLOAD>' -k -v -u <USERNAME>:<PASSWORD> https://<PRIVATE_PAAS_HOST>:<PRIVATE_PAAS_HTTPS_PORT>/api/repo/notify The path to the JSON file that defines the GIT repository details needs to be defined as the `<JSON_PAYLOAD>` value. By default, `<USERNAME>:<PASSWORD>` is `admin:admin.` By default, `<PRIVATE_PAAS_HOST>` is `localhost.` However, if you are using a public IP, the respective IP address or domain needs to be specified. By default, `<PRIVATE_PAAS_HTTPS_PORT>` has been set to 9443. However, if the port offset has been incremented by `n`, the default port value needs to be incremented by `n`

Example

Add the Git repository details defined in the <PRIVATE_PAAS_CARTRIDGES>/git_notifications.json file.

cd <PRIVATE_PAAS_CARTRIDGES>/
curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d @'git_notifications.json' -k -v -u admin:admin https://localhost:9443/api/repo/notify
