Since it’s not high priority, mind if I give it a shot? Also, is there a certain language you need it written in? I was going to use Python since that’s what I’m most familiar with. |
Slack bot for creating commits. Reference commitsto#240
Code to make basic Slack Bot. See commitsto#240 Still have to add features.

@chrisbutler created a pull request (for the base code) on the fork on my account if you'd like to check it out. Let me know what you think - working on my cell for the next week or so until I get my laptop in. |

hey @echodaniel, thanks for taking this on! i know almost nothing about python (😞) but i'm definitely interested in looking at and understanding this. does this slackbot code run independently of the main commits.to repo/codebase? i'm wondering if maybe we should have a separate repo for all slackbot work. thoughts? |

Hey @chrisbutler, you’re welcome! I’ve been waiting for a project that I can take on with regards to commits.to! In answer to your question, yes, it should run in a virtual environment separate from the rest of the production code, BUT I definitely like the idea of a separate repo for all the slackbot code, especially during development and testing. |

@chrisbutler I’m thinking of designing it in such a way that (one way we could go is) all we’d need to do is give it / commands to test out different commits. So an example would be (within slack) if someone wanted to test a commit they could simply do “@ commitbot /parse_this_promise” And the bot would (maybe, this might take more work than I’m realizing) automatically create that commit, using that persons username as long as they already have an account set up and both names match. Or it might just create it as CommitBot. I’ll have to add features and test them out as I go. |

Making additional edits for commitsto#240
Added more stuff. Updated commands it can take, added a variable to parse a URL (or at least remind me to make one) that might break aforementioned commands.
Reference commitsto#240 Updated MENTION_REGEX so it will match allowed URL characters (and only those in allowable); so people don’t get into bad habits early. Added two different options for making commits with the bot. The statement /iwill or the statement /commitsto. Because, well, why not? It is way too early and I’m not used to the time change and the word commit is reminding me of the old movie Rocketman.
we could totally make a simple slack bot that provides a slash command to create a commitment and generate the commits.to URL. it’s almost superfluous but could trim off a bit of friction i guess. or add discoverability since you see what apps are connected and might check what commands they provide.
this is not high priority but luke wanted to work on it...
