SPIKE: Sending mail from CircleCI to person who commited

[edipetres]

1. Use this command to get the email address of the person last commited: git log HEAD^..HEAD --pretty='%aN <%aE>' | sort -u | grep -o -P '(?<=<).*(?=>)'

Note: the command only works for me on the circle ci server - remove last grep command to make it work on other distributions

2. Use this tutorial to install linux package that can send email.

@buep Which Praqma account can I use for sending the email?

Ok, so I created a MailJet account to send emails with a curl command from the pipeline. Credentials are documented in the Readme and added to the it-administration page.

This is what an email looks like:

Greetings!

That is a fine start I think :-) I guess you found credentials for sending mails?

Mails are sent from the newly created MailJet account ;)
