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.

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

  • ✨ New Features (feat:)
  • 🐛 Bug Fixes (fix:)
