installation ?
- clone the repo or download source as zip
- choose the options you want in config.ini
- clone the repository you want to pull from in the same directory as this program. ensure the directory name is the same as the repository’s name.
python main.py: it will automatically pull the latest commits on startup and then listen for commits with your specified update filename
config ⚙️
there are 5 options in the config.ini file, filename and sleeptime are not very necessary to change, but they are there if you want to change them anyway.
repo-name ?
put the repository name here, it will use it to pull from the repository and also to know what your cloned directory is called.
owner-username ?
put the repository’s owner’s name here.
token ?
generate an api token by going to Settings > Developer settings > Personal access tokens and then clicking on Generate new token configure it however you’d like and then paste it into the config file.
