Github tool for listing some of your activity inside a database of Notion, made it with Typescript and I was inspired by this glitch code, thanks a lot Notion team !

• Run the program
• Set-up on server

Requirement

• Have a Notion integration and retrieve the API KEY of it.
• Create a github API key, you can follow this tutorial, it's pretty easy
• Retrieve your ID of your issues database and put all 3 keys in a .env file like this :

  GITHUB_KEY=<GITHUB KEY>
  NOTION_KEY=<NOTION KEY>
  NOTION_DATABASE_ID_ISSUES=<ID HERE>
  NOTION_DATABASE_ID_PR=<ID HERE>

• Don't forget to have a version of Node later than 16.
• And also, don't forget to share your database to your Notion integration 😆 (got to do this mistake so many times)

Run the program

Now the requirements are done, you just have to do these things :

• Install typescript environment :
  • npm install -g typescript
  • npm install -g ts-node
  • npx tsc --init
• Run npm install
• And then you're good to go :
  • npm run dev on your local environment
  • npm start if you want to init a pm2 job running this script every 6 hours

Set-up on server

Setting up on pm2 while running npm start and this will run a cron job every 6 hours thanks to node-cron module

For now it is just issues and PRs activity but in the future, I will make more features available
