How to share the git commit log with the customer without giving access to the repository?

Question

I want to share the progress of the project with the customer. I need to show him that im working on it constantly. The best way to do is to show the comit log. But to show it, I have to give him access to my repo (Bitbucket or Github). How can I do this without giving access to the repo?

Answer 1

I have seen another alternative:

• set a post-receive hook (or a webhook) on the private repo (server side) which will:
  • do a git log and redirect the result in a text file
  • save that text file in a dedicated repo (which includes only the log text file)

That way, you give access to that log repo, and the client can follow the log in it.
