GitBit Slack Bot

The story of GitBit (Slack) bot

We at Braintree/PayPal have tradition of having every alternate Fridays as Developer Days. This day (one of the most exciting day of the sprint for me) is like a mini hack day. You can spent time learning something new/reading/coding something new. One of the Dev Days I deecided to write my first ever Bot (Slack Bot). And here it is !!

What is GitBit Slack Bot or What does it do ?

GitBit Slack Bot is a Bot for Slack teams that they can configure and quickly have a look at open pull requests in their configured repositories.
