Unlike Bot Commit, this module does not react to repository changes. It is a lookup tool in the fashion of the Bot Project URL lookup.
This project provides an integration between GitHub and the Bot module. More specifically it makes GitHub a Bot Project provider by utilizing the patch in #969294: Make issue-tracking integration extensible (for Redmine), following the example of Bot project Redmine.
This module currently has support for Commits and Branches. Additional Github-related tricks may be added later.
It depends on the php-github-api library, which for now must be copied into the module directory.
What Does It Do?
- Paste of a git commit url gets commit data.
- Shorthand syntax allows request of commit and branch information.
- Configurable prefix for the commit or branch name.
- Per-channel default for the GitHub account/Organization namespace.
- Per-channel default for the GitHub repository.
- Ability to specify a repository to override the channel default.
- Ability to specify user account & api key for authenticated GitHub requests. This allows the Bot to pull information about otherwise private repositories.
- De-duplication and 5-item flood control per line.
