### Watching repositories

To watch repositories simply add them to the list of arguments `-r=kubernetes/kubernetes -r=prometheus/prometheus` and so on.

### Deploying

1. Get a URL to send WebHooks to your Slack from https://api.slack.com/incoming-webhooks.

2. Get a token for scraping GitHub: [https://help.github.com/](https://help.github.com/articles/creating-a-personal-access-token-for-the-command-line).

#### Docker

```

docker run --rm -e GITHUB_TOKEN=XXX -e SLACK_HOOK=https://hooks.slack.com/... justwatch/github-releases-notifier -r=kubernetes/kubernetes

```

#### docker-compose

1. Change into the `deployments/` folder.

2. Open `docker-compose.yml`

3. Change the token in the environment section to the ones obtained above.

4. `docker-compose up`

#### Kubernetes

```bash

kubectl create secret generic github-releases-notifier \

        --from-literal=github=XXX` \

        --from-literal=slack=XXX

```

After creating the secret with your credentials you can apply the deployment:

`kubectl apply -f deployments/kubernetes.yml`

That's it.
