DevRel Discord Bot

A Discord bot that watches the GitHub YouTube channel and the GitHub Blog for new content, then posts weekly topic digests to a Discord channel of your choosing.

Features

• 🎬 Weekly YouTube digest — every Thursday the bot searches the GitHub YouTube channel for the top videos from the past 7 days matching any of the configured topics, ranks them by view count, and posts a digest embed (default: top 3).
• 📝 Weekly blog digest — same Thursday schedule; filters the GitHub Blog RSS feed for posts matching any configured topic from the past 7 days and posts the most recent ones.
• 🏷️ Multi-topic filtering — out of the box the bot covers GitHub Copilot, GitHub Copilot CLI, Security, Developer Skills, and Company News (fully configurable in config/config.yaml).
• 💤 Lightweight schedule — a single daily check determines whether today is Thursday; no continuous polling or expensive hourly wake-ups.
• 🔒 Secure by default — secrets live in .env (gitignored) or host environment variables; never in source control.
• ⚙️ Configurable — digest day, topics, channel IDs, and feed URL are all in config/config.yaml.
• 🐳 Docker-ready — includes a multi-stage Dockerfile and docker-compose.yml.
