#git - June 2020

how does everyone start new projects here ? do you have a git repository template ? do you use a skeleton creator ? or do you wing it like the most of us ?

trying to find good ways to create new repositories using sane defaults. id also like to see if repos are compliant with user defined rules if possible.

In our team, we frequently create /update TF modules that we maintain in GitHub. There are several teams consuming these modules. I am looking for a Slack- GitHub integration so that whenever we release an update the notification is published to a Slack channel. I tried googling but did not find anything pre-existing. Has anyone solved for something like this before ?

We use the built-in RSS app in slack for that. See #releases

every repo has an atom feed for github releases

Thank you Erik ! 🙂 I’ll check it out !

could use a github action using dependabot like loren suggests https://sweetops.slack.com/archives/CB6GHNLG0/p1593449185367400

So the integration looks fairly simple for public repos. For private and internal repos however, RSS app requires basic auth. Is there a more secure way of setting up this integration ?
