A Discord bot for creating GitHub issues.

Note: Due to NPM package linking requiring root access on system-wide NPM installations, it's recommended to use NVM.

Clone the repository:

$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/LeagueSandbox/IssueBot.git
$ cd IssueBot/issuebot

Install dependencies:

$ npm install

Now create a Discord application and an associated bot. Write down the Bot token, since you will need it in a bit.

Next, create a personal access token on GitHub with the public_repo permission. Also write down this token.

Add the Discord bot to your Discord server you want to use this functionality on.

Note: How to do the above three steps is out of the scope of this project README. A quick Google to the right documentation should help you with this.

Go to your project and create the configuration file.

$ cp config.json.template config.json

Edit config.json and insert your Discord token, GitHub token and your GitHub user/organization name.

Note: The user/organization name needs to be from the same account of which you generated the personal access token for.

Run the bot:

$ npm start

You should see the following output:

user@system:~/IssueBot/issuebot$ npm start

> [email protected] start /home/user/IssueBot/issuebot
> tsc -p . && node built/issuebot.js

Mapped Function to !issue
Bot ready

Your bot should now be online in your Discord.

To use it, type the following in Discord where the bot can read it:

!issue REPO "title" "body"

Replace REPO with the repository you have access to. A new GitHub issue should be created through the bot.

You can provide the required options via environment variables as follows:

• GITHUB_NAME: The github user/organization name
• GITHUB_TOKEN: The github user access token
• DISCORD_TOKEN: The discord bot token
