Broadcast GitHub commits to main

Keep track of commits to the main branch in GitHub without leaving Slack.

How it works:

Reserve dedicated Slack channels to output from GitHub. 

Whenever a pull request is merged into the main branch, a message is automatically posted in the channel with a link for viewing differences in the codebase.

This use case is to keep everyone informed when deploys take place and which changes were rolled up into a release. You can remind your engineers working in branches that they can minimize conflicts by notifying them with the latest changes before submitting their own PR.

How to get started:

To begin with the PR review in Slack with GitHub,

  1. Install GitHub pull request management from Actioner app directory.
  2. Connect Slack and GitHub.
  3. Run setup workflows.
  4. First enter Owner and Repository to get notified for the new PR events.
  5. Next create a GitHub updates channel to notify your team for commit events to main.

Once you set up the app, automatically, a broadcast channel will be created, and Actioner will start sending notifications to that channel when changes are committed to the main branch in GitHub.
