Gitlabot – it knows everyting about your merge requests so you know too

Overview

Gitlabot – a bot which can send a notification to telegram about all merge requests in your GitLab project.

Now – it notifies only about OPEN and MERGE events

Clone this repo to your computer.
Create .env file in the root (you can find an example at .env.example) – it defines all env variables which Gitlabot needs.
Run make up – it will build and start a docker container with a bot.
Run make log – it will print container log. If all is ok you will see something like this:
