git/ Github notification on pull request involving subfolder

Question

Is it possible to setup a trigger with git or github s.t. I'm notified if a subfolder of a git repo is updated?

Or better, is it possible to setup a trigger s.t. I'm notified if a pull request involves a subfolder of a git repo?

Answer 1

You could use GitHub webhooks to:

1. send a payload to an integration service (ifttt, zapier, elasti.io, etc.)
2. filter/search the payload for the condition you are seeking
3. notify via your preferred method :)

Without GitHub, you could accomplish this using your scripting language of choice via git hooks.

Unfortunately, GitHub does not support git hooks, but other git hosting services do.
