Question

I work with 5 other developers and on average, there’s about 100 commits a day. I want to monitor some code which no other developer is supposed to touch, but they might.

Is there a way in github that I can track changes to a particular folder of code? So if a change is made, somehow I am alerted?

Thanks

You could setup a post-receive hook on your Github repo (you can test it too), in order to call a server of yours in which you would:

• update a local repo
• git diff HEAD..HEAD^
• monitor the differences introduces by that latest update (and raise an alert if certain files has changed)
