hacsoc/slacksoc repository overview

⁠slacksoc

Our friendly little slackbot.

⁠Features

• Is very friendly (It will say hi back to you)
• Sends you a private message on request
• Welcomes new members by requesting that they set their Real Name field

⁠Development

Nearly all development of bots and plugins takes place in the library⁠. This repository merely contains deployment information (e.g. Dockerfile), configuration, and pinned dependencies.

To use the pinned dependencies, be sure to git submodule init --update initially, and git submodule update each time you update the repository. Go will use code within the vendor directory rather than downloading the latest versions. go build will build the bot, and docker build will create a Docker image.

⁠Updating Dependencies

The convenient way to update all submodules is to use vendetta⁠. Install it with go get github.com/dpw/vendetta, and then use vendetta -u to update the submodules. You can also use vendetta -p to prune unneeded dependencies. Then you can commit the updated submodules and build a new Docker image.
