Associate repository to a channel #15

Closed diananova closed 3 years ago

diananova commented 3 years ago

We need a command that associates a Github repository to a channel (maybe don't bother about private repos for now)

do we need a database for this? The channel-github repo association must be saved somewhere, right?
should we use MongoDB? https://towardsdatascience.com/creating-a-discord-bot-from-scratch-and-connecting-to-mongodb-828ad1c7c22e

Laurell876 commented 3 years ago

Sure but we could store it in memory for now

gmelodie commented 3 years ago

A DB seems overkill. Maybe storing the information on a simple JSON file would do (it's not a heavily-structured and complex dataset right? Just a simple map ( discord channel -> github repo ).

Oh yeah that makes sense! We'll try using a JSON file.
