New version checker

Simple stateless checking if a new version of a project is released. Should be run periodically. If a new version is found an issue requesting a version bump will be created in a GitHub repository of choice.

Currently only supports git tags as source of information for new versions.

How to use

• Create a newversionchecker.toml file with the following contents:

github_repo = "simonvanderveldt/newversionchecker" # Repo to create the version bump issues in
check_interval = 24 # Interval how often the check is scheduled to run (hours)

[projects] # Dictionary of projects to check and their git URL
"New version checker" = "https://github.com/simonvanderveldt/newversionchecker"
"<some other project>" = "https://github.com/<owner>/<some other project>"

• Create a personal access token on GitHub with either public_repo or repo scope access
• Export the token as GITHUB_API_TOKEN environment variable
• Run ./newversionchecker.py
