Gitly

Grab weekly emails of what open source projects are trending on Github for the languages you're interested in.

Installation

Clone the repo locally:

git clone [email protected]:bkenny/Gitly.git

Enter into the directory

cd Gitly

Create a new file called .env on route and add the following

SENDGRID_PASSWORD=YOUR_SENDGRID_PASSWORD
SENDGRID_USERNAME=YOUR_SENDGRID_USERNAME
GITHUB_CLIENT=YOUR_GITHUB_CLIENT_ID
GITHUB_SECRET=YOUR_GITHUB_SECRET

Install dependencies

bundle install

Create the DB locally and migrate it to the latest (Postgres)

rake db:create && rake db:migrate

Import the languages as categories

rake import_languages

You're good to go! Fire up your local server with foreman (uses env variables set in .env)

foreman start

Running

First, we store what's trending for the repo's that users have subscribed to with:

	rake fetch_trending

Once the latest GitHub projects are stored, an email is then sent out to the users with the following rake task:

	rake send_weekly_mail
