GitHub to Discourse

This is very simple.

It will forward any 'push' webhooks it receives to a specified thread on a Discourse forum. I couldn't find anything similar around, presumably because people don't really use Discourse to publish new commits. But hey, maybe there's a use-case somewhere.

Install

1. npm install -g github-to-discourse
2. cd `npm root -g`/github-to-discourse
3. mv config.json.0 config.json and edit properties (see below)
4. g2d

Note: You can also run g2d /path/to/config.json with a custom path, otherwise config.json will be used.

Config.json Format

Note: All properties are required unless listed otherwise

discourse

api_key

Your Discourse API Key. You should ask an admin for this. They'll need your username as well.

api_user

Your Discourse username.

domain

The domain of your Discourse server, without protocols or slashes. e.g. meta.discourse.org.

https_enabled

Does the Discourse server use HTTPS? This is optional, defaults to false

topic_id

The topic that the program should be posting replies to. You can get this from the number at the end of your topic URL: For https://meta.discourse.org/t/presence-features-for-forums/12 it's 12.

onebox_enabled

Some Discourse installations enable a 'onebox' for GitHub commit links, which displays them in a fancy format with the title and message. If you'd like to use this, and your server supports it, you can set this to true. Otherwise it's optional, and defaults to false.

repository

default_branch_only

Only processes commits to the default branch (configurable on GitHub). false by default.

webhook

path

The path name on your server that GitHub is sending Webhooks to. Include no slashes, e.g. push-to-here if you're hooking to http://myurl.com/push-to-here.

port

The port to run on. Optional, will default to 8080.

secret

Your secret for the GitHub webhook.
