Discord Github Release Notifier

This a fork of femtopixel's Github Release Notifier with the notifications adapted to Discord.

Installation

pip3 install discord-github-release-notifier

Usage

usage: discord-github-release-notifier [-h] [--action {cron,subscribe,unsubscribe}]
              [--package PACKAGE] [--webhook WEBHOOK] [--uuid UUID]

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --action {cron,subscribe,unsubscribe}, -a {cron,subscribe,unsubscribe}
                        Action to do (default: cron)
  --package PACKAGE, -p PACKAGE
                        Github package name / url (required for
                        subscribe/unsubscribe) - prints uuid on subscription
  --webhook WEBHOOK, -w WEBHOOK
                        URL to your webhook (required for
                        subscribe/unsubscribe)
  --uuid UUID, -u UUID  UUID of your webhook (required for unsubscribe)

Example

First, I register my webhook :

discord github-release-notifier --action subscribe --webhook https://discordapp.com/api/webhooks/{webhook.id}/{webhook.token} --package jaymoulin/google-music-manager

an UUID is printed. this UUID will be required to unsubscribe the webhook.

When jaymoulin/google-music-manager releases a new version, https://discordapp.com/api/webhooks/{webhook.id}/{webhook.token} will be called with the release details.

For this to happen, the system should check if a new version have been released. We can do that by calling discord-github-release-notifier without any parameter or setting --action to cron (which is default).

To automate this process, we could add this process in a cronjob:

(crontab -l ; echo "0 0 * * * discord-github-release-notifier") | sort - | uniq - | crontab -

This will check every day at midnight if new versions have been released.
