Gitlab MR Bot

Gitlab MR bot is a slackbot for Gitlab merge requests. All it does is to send you assigned and unassigned merge requests for a project on Gitlab. This was just a random weekend play project :) and it is completely opensource.

Tech

Gitlab MR bot is written in Python3 and built on lins05/slackbot library.

Deployment

• Don't forget to star this repo if you have not done so :p
• Fork the repo
• Replace the values in .env.example with yours in your environmental variable section of wherever you want to deploy to.

Collaboration

Want to contribute? Great!

Star this repo :p then fork it. Do stuff and create a pull request. Do not forget to write tests :)

Gitlab MR bot gets its data from Gitlab API v4.
