bot to tweet about new releases
I have only one need and didn't want to maintain too much code, and didn't want to depend on another Twitter bot I can't customize. So I did my own in 1 hour and I was pretty happy with so I release it for free :)
Only 1: configure a webhook in GitHub for your repository. Everytime you'll publish a new release a tweet will be sent by the account of your choice: amazing, right?
More you can customize the tweet to be sent thanks to the MicroEngine embed with this app'.
In fact you don't have to write code, you only need to create an app on Twitter to get credentials needed by TweetHub (https://apps.twitter.com/).
Then you create a .env file from the distributed one and you complete it.
# .env
TW_CONSUMER_KEY=XXXXXX
TW_CONSUMER_SECRET=XXXXXX
TW_ACCESS_TOKEN=XXXXXX
TW_ACCESS_SECRET=XXXXXX
TW_MSG="A new release of TwitterHub is up => checkout! @htmlUrl"
Wait! What the f*** with @ expressions?
Well, you can access every getter from Release entity in your tweet :) This will help you to provide the url of changelog for instance!
No thanks, I don't have too much time to spend on my "baby" projects. If you like and use it, you can "star" the project, this is free and can make me smile, so what are you waiting for?
@+!
