git-notify is an npm CLI tool that lets developers embed announcements in git commit messages using a 'git-notify:' prefix. It displays those messages to teammates via git hooks (post-merge, post-rewrite, post-checkout) when they pull or check out the relevant commits.

Use cases

• notify teammates about new dev environment setup via commit messages
• announce breaking changes when developers pull commits
• show team announcements on branch checkout
• integrate announcements into GitHub PR merge commits
• configure git hooks with husky to display messages automatically

When to choose

• your team communicates project updates through git history
• you use husky or git hooks in an npm/yarn project
• you need announcements visible to distributed or open-source contributors

When to avoid

• your team relies on Slack or other chat tools for announcements
• you don't use git hooks or can't install devDependencies
• you need notifications for non-git workflows
