Github issue bot

Meet the GitHub Issue Discord Bot — a streamlined, Python-based bot built to monitor one or more GitHub repositories and automatically publish notifications into Discord channels whenever new issues are created (or optionally, labeled) in your projects. If you run open-source repositories, lead a development community, or just want a tight integration between GitHub issue tracking and your Discord server, this bot provides real-time visibility and promotes project transparency.

Key Features

✅ Repository Watchlists: Easily add or remove repositories you want to monitor using simple Discord commands.

🔍 Label Filtering: Only care about certain issue labels? Configure the bot to notify only when new issues bear specific labels (e.g., bug, enhancement, help-wanted).

📂 Multi-Channel Support: Push notifications into different Discord channels depending on your configuration (for example, one channel for bug alerts, another for feature requests).

📦 Persistent Storage: The bot keeps track of which repos are being watched and avoids duplicate alerts by using a persistent data file.

🛠 Easy Configuration: Built in Python with widely used libraries (discord.py, aiohttp, python-dotenv). Set up environment variables for your Discord bot token and GitHub API token, and you’re ready.

🧰 Command-Based Control: Within Discord, use intuitive commands like !watch owner/repo ["label1" "label2"], !unwatch owner/repo, !list, !help to manage your settings.
