GitHub bot
Connect a repo once. Every release becomes a ship line, drafted for you.
How it works
The bot watches your linked repo. When you publish a release, or merge a PR labeled shiplist, it drafts a short line and adds it to your ship log. You stay in control of what gets posted.
Install
- Open your listing.
- Click Connect GitHub repo.
- Approve the app on your repo. This proves you own it.
- Pick the repo. Done.
You only do this once per repo.
Post a line
- Cut a release on GitHub.
- The bot drafts a line from your release notes.
- Approve it from the link, or turn on auto publish to skip that step.
Auto publish
Off: you approve each line. On: lines post on their own, straight from the release notes. Toggle it on the listing page. Write clear release notes and the drafts read well.
From the command line
Once a repo is linked, you can ship from your terminal:
gh release create v1.2.0 --notes "What you shipped"With auto publish on, the line posts a few seconds later.
Edit or remove a line
Every line is editable. Go to your projects, open the ship log, and edit or delete. Edits follow the same rules.
Private repos
The line still posts. The link to a private repo is never shown to visitors.
Not seeing a line?
- Check the repo is still linked on your listing.
- The release must be published, not a draft.
- If a draft could not be written, the bot leaves an approval link instead.
