RepoDrop

Keep your community up to date with the GitHub projects it cares about. Subscribe a channel to any public repository, and RepoDrop posts every new release, tag, or commit as soon as it's out.

What it announces

• Releases: with release notes, or in a compact style without them
• Tags: whenever a new version is tagged
• Commits: grouped per push, on the branches you choose (up to 5 per subscription)
• Pre-releases: optional, per subscription

Every announcement has View and Compare buttons, so the full release or the exact changes are one click away.

Get started in one command

/repodrop subscribe repo:owner/name Paste a repo name or a GitHub link. RepoDrop records the repo's current state, so nothing old is re-announced, only what's new from then on. Add tags:true or commits:true for more, or run the command again to change a subscription.

Built for servers of any size

• Roles and permissions: everyone can subscribe by default, or limit it to a role. Managers can change and remove any subscription.
• /repodrop settings: set a manager role, a subscriber role, a default channel, and the announcement style.
• /repodrop status: a health report for every subscription, with live permission checks.
• /repodrop latest: look up any repo's newest release without subscribing.
• Looks after itself: if a channel is deleted, a repo disappears, or a branch is removed, RepoDrop pauses that subscription and tells your admins how to fix it.
• Mistakes are recoverable: remove RepoDrop by accident? Your subscriptions and settings are kept for 7 days, and re-adding the bot restores everything.

Respectful by design

• Never pings anyone: all mentions in announcements are disabled.
• Can't read your messages: slash commands only, with no message-content access.
• Minimal permissions: only View Channel, Send Messages, and Embed Links.
• Public repositories only: it never asks for access to your GitHub account.
