# Stargazer

them to you.

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/bfontaine/stargazer.svg)](https://travis-ci.org/bfontaine/stargazer)

## Build

    go get github.com/bfontaine/stargazer

## Run

    $ TOKEN=your-slack-token stargazer

## FAQ

### How do I get a token?

1. Go on your team’s Slack URL, and on the “Integrations” page, search for the

   “bots” integration. If your team is e.g. `foobar`, the URL is

   `https://foobar.slack.com/services/new/bot`.

2. Choose a name for your bot. Don’t worry, you can change it later.

3. Your token is on the bot page.

## How do I get the bot to report stars to me?

The bot works with a whitelist, not to annoy everybody by default. Send it a

private message saying “enable”, and it should enable the reporting for you.

You can later disable this by sending it “disable”.
