It is easy to send Zulips on SVN commits, by configuring a post-commit hook. To do this:

First, create the stream you’d like to use for SVN commit notifications, and subscribe all interested parties to this stream. The integration will use the default stream commits if no stream is supplied in the hook; you still need to create the stream even if you are using this default.

Then:

1. {! download-python-bindings.md !}

2. Install pysvn. On Linux, you can install the python-svn package. On other platforms, you can install a binary or from source following the instructions on the pysvn website.

3. Copy integrations/svn/zulip_svn_config.py and integrations/svn/post-commit from the API bindings directory to the hooks subdirectory of your SVN repository.

4. Next, open integrations/git/zulip_svn_config.py in your favorite editor, and change the following lines to configure your SVN integration:

    ZULIP_USER = "svn-bot@example.com"
    ZULIP_API_KEY = "0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef"
    {% if api_site_required %}ZULIP_SITE = "{{ external_api_uri_subdomain }}"{% endif %}
   

5. The default stream used by this post-commit hook is commits; if you’d prefer a different stream, change it now in zulip_svn_config.py. Make sure that everyone interested in getting these post-commit Zulips is subscribed to that stream!
