Simple Github -> Discord webhook

Step 1 - Make a Discord Webhook

  1. Find the Discord channel in which you would like to send commits and other updates

  2. In the settings for that channel, find the Webhooks option and create a new webhook. Note: Do NOT give this URL out to the public. Anyone or service can post messages to this channel, without even needing to be in the server. Keep it safe! WebhookDiscord

Step 2 - Set up the webhook on Github

  1. Navigate to your repository on Github, and open the Settings Settings

  2. Select Add Webhook Add

  3. Paste in the webhook url and append /github to the end. Select "Send me everything", set the type to application/json, and then Add Webhook WebhookSettings

  4. Test it by updating something or starring the repository! If it works, you're all set! Star

is it possible to ping/mention/notify everyone or certain people using the webhook?

Hi. Have you found a way to achieve this?

You can, but not natively. You can either use a bot that can automatically respond with a ping or (a bit trickier) use a bot and a private channel for the Girhub-webhook, so that GitHub sends the message to your private Discord channel and the bot "copies" this message and adds mentions.

Thank you. Do you know of any public bots that can do either of these? (I only tried YAGPDB, but even custom commands doesn't work since it doesn't listen for webhooks)

(Also, a few minutes ago someone shared this with me. It just seems like a bit of a pain to set up)

I would suggest Sapphire with the new Sticky Message feature for "reply with ping".
It could also be possible to use the Automod feature but I don't know if bot-messages (what a webhook message is) are recognized.
I could make you a custom bot that does this easily if you want (@thelukez)

Thank you for sharing this clear and helpful guide on setting up a Discord webhook with GitHub! The step-by-step instructions make it easy to follow, and the added note about keeping the webhook URL private is crucial. It's great to have a straightforward process for integrating GitHub updates directly into Discord channels. This will definitely streamline communication for projects. Appreciate you taking the time to share this!
