-A 'simple' collection of bash scripts that syncs CodiMD files with a certain metadata block to Gitlab
+A python webserver that automatically hooks into a mattermost instance, listens for any mentions of codiMD files, downloads them locally and then commits them to a git repo based on a specific metadata block in the codimd file.
 
+**TODO**
+- Hook into mattermost to automatically react to new files
+- Change gitlab integration to gitea
+
+**Done**
+- Webserver that starts a sync when an endpoint is called
+- Automatic detection of codimd file links in mattermost message
+- Download of codimd files
+- Creation of a gitlab pull request for any new files
+- Creation of new commits for any new changes to the files. Hereby updating the existing pull request or creating a new one.
+
+## How to run (currently)
+
+    # Start local webserver
+    make webserver
+
+    # Curl the webserver to trigger the sync
+    make sync
