Adding a new project for monitoring

CommitMonitor gives you the possibility to add a new project to the list by specifying the name, selecting the source control, as well as adding the URL to monitor.What’s more, you can make the application automatically perform checks at a user-defined time (in minutes), enter the authentication parameters (username and password), specify the maximum number of log entries to keep, and create exclusion and inclusion lists with users.Last but not least, you can ignore commits based on a log message, add a script/command to call when new revisions are detected, insert a URL for web-based viewer and disable the execution process if ignored commits are detected.

Configuration settings

CommitMonitor can be run at Windows startup, and you can ignore EOLs and whitespace changes, show or hide popup notifications, play sound notifications (you may opt for a preset one or add a custom audio file from your computer), enter the number of log messages to fetch for new projects, and notify on connection errors.
