Laggit

Send lolcommits to Slack.

Simple CLI tool for sending your pretty little face to your team on Slack, via Lolcommits.

How it works

This tool takes your last git commit SHA sum and looks for the corresponding lolcommit inside ~/.lolcommits directory.

Then it uploads your picture to Amazon S3 bucket of your choice, and pastes the link to Slack channel.

Inspiration, similar projects

It's easy to bind this to use as a part of post-commit hook in your Git repo. Use this if you want do something similar without S3:

Why S3?

Because I wanted to store those dumbass pictures of my team in one place, possibly serving it later on in some web interface / dashboard.

Install

1. Install Lolcommits (https://github.com/mroth/lolcommits)

2. Install laggit

   npm install laggit -g
   

3. Then put this into your .bashrc / .zshrc file. Or if you're on Windows, do whatever your folks do to set env variables.

   export LAGGIT_S3_KEY="your_s3_key"
   export LAGGIT_S3_SECRET="your_s3_secret"
   export LAGGIT_S3_BUCKET="your_s3_bucket_to_utilize"
   export LAGGIT_SLACK_TEAM="your_slack_team_name"
   export LAGGIT_SLACK_TOKEN="your_slack_webhook_token"
   export LAGGIT_SLACK_CHANNEL="your_slack_default_channel"
   

4. [OPTIONAL] You can add laggit command into post-commit hook in your github repo, but be careful, it's not tested. (HINT: don't use lolcommits --FORK flag).

Usage

1. Make some changes
2. Commit
3. Wait until lolcommits finishes creating .gif or .jpg file
4. laggit send last commit image / gif to your default channel on Slack
5. Profit!

You can also specify channel on the go, like:

laggit --channel=#mychannel

Happy Lolcommiting!
