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**

- Automatic detection of codimd file links in mattermost message
- Download of codimd files
