Review a gitignore template in Slack
See the actual Gitea gitignore template content in the thread where the team is choosing a starter stack.
Trigger
Channel Message Received
Triggers when a message is posted in a channel, excluding direct messages.
Action
Get Gitignore Template Info
Retrieve a gitignore template’s details.
Why this helps
Repo setup gets delayed while contributors guess what the stock template excludes.
- Review template contents before choosing
- Avoid assuming the template matches the stack
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Gitea to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Ask Notis to create an automation, or open Automations → New Automation in the portal.
- 3Use this plain-language prompt: “When the starter-repo channel requests a specific Gitea gitignore template by name, retrieve its info and summarize the exclusions; do not create or modify a repository.”
- 4Choose the Slack channel message trigger and a channel for run reports; create it and test with one real example.
Questions about this workflow
Can this choose the best template automatically?
It can summarize the named template, but the stack and repository needs still determine whether it fits.
