GitHub to Discord Changelog Notifier

A val that automatically fetches GitHub commits and posts formatted changelog updates to Discord. The bot categorizes commits based on conventional commit messages ie. feat:, fix: etc.

Example: Screenshot 2025-05-21 at 7.35.34 PM.png

Environment Variables

Set the following Environment Variables (via left sidebar of this val):

  • GITHUB_REPO_OWNER: ie. steel-dev
  • GITHUB_REPO_NAME: ie. steel-browser
  • GITHUB_TOKEN:
    • For public repos, or personal repos: Go to GitHub Personal Access Tokens → Generate new token (classic) → Select repo scope
    • For org-owned repos: Go to GitHub Personal Access Tokens → Resource Owner → Select the org the repo belongs to → read access to Contents. You will need approval from the org admin.
  • DISCORD_WEBHOOK_URL: In your Discord server → Server Settings → Integrations → Webhooks → New Webhook → Copy Webhook URL

How to use

gh-to-discord.tsx is a cron that runs automatically based on your configured schedule, fetching commits since the last run

Manual Testing

You can also manually test this val using the playground.tsx HTTP endpoint

Commit Categorization

The bot automatically categorizes commits into the following sections (feel free to add more!):

  • ✨ New Features (feat:)
  • 🐛 Bug Fixes (fix:)
  • ⚙️ Chores & Maintenance (chore:)
  • 📋 Other Updates (uncategorized commits)
