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
**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 gitea 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.
## Warning !
When running this in a new folder it will create a lot of mattermost messages because it will find a lot of CodiMD links that are not yet locally cached.
Afterwards all these links are registered in a local `db.json` file so the application knows they have been handled.
## How to run (currently)
# Start local webserver
make webserver
# Curl the webserver to trigger the sync
make sync
## CodiMD
You need to put the following block somewhere in you CodiMD file.
```markdown
:::spoiler git drive sync
- sync-to: path/in/the/drive
:::
```
## Setup
Copy the `config.example.toml` file to `config.toml` and complete the missing values.
Install the requirements listed in the `requirements.txt`.
