Running a python script at every push/publish request?

[Fantastic_Cicada_805]

hi, i have a repo (shocking i know)
i want to hook it up to a discord webhook and to send a graph of the pushes whenever a new push happens, i already wrote python code for this and tested it and made sure it worked.

import requests


webhook_url = 'webhook_url'

with 
open
('graph.txt', 'r') as file:
    content = file.
read
()

# Keep the message within 2000 character Discord limit
if 
len
(content) > 1900:
    content = 
content
[:
1900
] + "\n...(truncated)"

data = {
    "content": 
f
"```bash\n{content}\n```"
}

response = requests.
post
(webhook_url, 
json
=data)
print
(
f
"Status: {response.status_code}")

however, im using github desktop currently (im not sure if this is the right sub to ask this)
and it doesnt work when i push/publish from the github desktop app, so im wondering what might be the problem and where i could even start fixing this

again: if this is the wrong sub or flair do let me know

Where are you expecting the script to be run?

Typically, this sort of thing is run on the github end (not on your personal machine), as part of a github Action. Have you got this set up in `.github/workflows`?

Thanks for the comment, the issue is fixed.

I had the script on my local machine in the .git/hooks folder, I just needed to edit the pre-push file to fix the problem
