Readme
Sends a message to a Discord channel at an interval with a running count of the number of GitHub stars a GitHub repository has.
See the Discord documentation for generating a webhook address here. Remember to store it as a secret environment variable (named here as DISCORD_WEBHOOK_URL) so that others cannot find your URL and post unwanted messages to your channel!
See the documentation on scheduling and https://crontab.guru/ to configure how often the updates are posted.
- Record the difference in stars (using persistent storage to store data between runs)
- Print the value of the
open_issues_countfield to track the number of issues on the GitHub repository - Look at the GitHub events API and for example print new and closed pull requests in the span of a week
