Present.ly On GitHub
This is something that’s been cooking for a while and it’s finally live! If you’re a user of GitHub, the fantastic Git repository hosting service (and open-source megasite), you can now integrate your GitHub commits with Present.ly! Take a look:
Integration is super-easy and can be used in a number of ways. To integrate, just go to the “Admin” section of your GitHub repository and then click on “Services”
From here, you can scroll down to find “Presently” as one of the service integration options. Simply fill out the information, check “Active” and save. You’re ready to go!
The best thing is how it can integrate with Present.ly’s groups functionality. There are three things you can do with the Group Name option:
- Leave it blank. When commits are pushed to the repository, an update will be posted from your account with the information.
- Use a Group Name. If you are the manager of a group, you can put the short name of the group in this field and commits will be broadcast by the group as in the screenshot above.
- System Broadcast. If you are the administrator of a Present.ly account, you can type “system” in the Group Name field and a system broadcast will be generated upon commits being pushed to the repository.
We think this is a fantastic way to keep teams up to date on what’s happening with a project, and we’re happy to be able to share it with you!
