GitDinger monitors your local copies of git repositories and notifies you of changes by playing a selected sound file and saying out loud who did commit what.

The autofetch configuration causes gitdinger to fetch the repositories and thus monitor even remote branches easily. Just specify for example origin/master and set autofetch to true.

• git installed in your $PATH
• Mac OS
  • binaries say and afplay
• Linux
  • aplay (http://alsa.opensrc.org/Aplay), espeak (http://espeak.sourceforge.net/)

Optionally you can specify a different config file, by usigng the -config flag.
