A user-extendable Slack bot for GitHub organization management.

HubCommander provides a chat-ops means for managing GitHub organizations.

It creates a simple way to perform privileged GitHub organization management tasks without granting

administrative or `owner` privileges to your GitHub organization members.

How does it work?

-------------

HubCommander is based on [slackhq/python-rtmbot](https://github.com/slackhq/python-rtmbot)

(currently, dependent on release [0.4.0](https://github.com/slackhq/python-rtmbot/releases/tag/0.4.0))

You simply type `!help`, and the bot will output a list of commands that the bot supports. Typing

the name of the command, for example: `!CreateRepo`, will output help text on how to execute the command.

At a minimum, you will need to have the following:

* Python 3.5+

* Slack and Slack credentials

* A GitHub organization

* A GitHub bot user with ownership level privileges

A Docker image is also available to help get up and running quickly.

Features

-------------

Out of the box, HubCommander has the following GitHub features:

* Repository creation

* Repository deletion

* Repository description and website modification

* Granting outside collaborators specific permissions to repositories

* Repository default branch modification

* Repository PR listing

* Repository deploy Key listing/creation/deletion

* Repository topics creation/deletion

* Repository branch protection enabling/disabling

HubCommander also features the ability to:

* Enable Travis CI on a GitHub repo

* Safeguard commands with 2FA via Duo

You can add additional commands by creating plugins. For example, you can create a plugin to invite users

to your organizations.

HubCommander also supports Slack ephemeral messages and threads.
