Copy code\n\n```\ngit clone https://github.com/your-username/slack-github-newsletter-shortcut.git\n```\n\n2. Install dependencies\n\n```\npip install -r requirements.txt\n```\n\n3. Set up the necessary environment variables, including `GITHUB_API_KEY`, `SLACK_BOT_TOKEN`, and `SLACK_SIGNING_SECRET`.\n\n4. Deploy the application to a server or a cloud function (like AWS Lambda) that supports Python.\n\n5. Configure a Slack app and point it to your deployment.\n\n## Usage\n\n1. Adding Content via Slack:\n\n- Use the /add_content shortcut in Slack to open a modal.\n- Fill in the details about the content you want to add (title, link, summary, category, etc.).\n- Submit the form to add the content to the GitHub issue.\n\n2.
