This bot monitors github trending repositories and twitts about them
Project description
Github Trending twitter bot
Posts to twitter one-at-a-day trending github repositories.
Free software: BSD license
More documentation: https://ghubtrending.readthedocs.org.
Workflow
- Check if if this week we’ve got a json file, if not
Get the week’s twitter repositories
Store them in a json file
Publish the json file to github (just for coolness)
- If we’ve got it.
Get current day’s twitter trending.
This means that we’re not actually posting today’s trending but one specific day’s Nth trending being N the day of week.
But that’s ok, as I’m doing this to have one specific repository each week.
Also, we mantain a list of already-posted repos and get the next one if we’ve already posted that.
Features
Python 3
Twitts one twitt-at-a-day so people won’t get tired
Does not twitt repeated twitts
Usage
Install it by executing:
python setup.py install
I recommend the usage of a virtualenv.
This will create an entry_point, called ghubtrending, that will update the twitter status with the repository of the week.
This works only on python3. Configuration file should be, located at ~/.ghtrend_bot.cfg as follows:
[github] login= password= [twitter] CONSUMER_KEY= CONSUMER_SECRET= ACCESS_TOKEN= ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET=
This requires you’ve got ~/.ghtrending directory created. I’m using that to have a link to data/ in there and auto-commit its content
