Stargazer

Get Slack notifications whenever someone stars your Github repo! 🌟

This project uses:

• the Serverless Framework;
• Github webhooks; and
• Slack's incoming webhooks.

Usage

1. Install the Serverless Framework and create a new service from this repo:

$ npm install -g serverless
$ sls create --template-url https://github.com/alexdebrie/stargazer -p stargazer
$ cd stargazer

2. Create an incoming webhook integration in Slack. Copy the webhook URL into serverless.yml as the WEBHOOK_URL environment variable.

3. Deploy your Serverless service ⚡️:

$ sls deploy

You'll see an endpoint for your function in the Service Information section once the deploy is finished.

4. Create a webhook in your preferred Github repository (docs here). Use the endpoint from the previous step as your payload URL.

5. Watch the notifications come in! 😎
