Simple Github -> Discord webhook

Github Webhook Tutorial.md

Step 1 - Make a Discord Webhook

1. Find the Discord channel in which you would like to send commits and other updates

2. In the settings for that channel, find the Webhooks option and create a new webhook. Note: Do NOT give this URL out to the public. Anyone or service can post messages to this channel, without even needing to be in the server. Keep it safe!

Step 2 - Set up the webhook on Github

1. Navigate to your repository on Github, and open the Settings

2. Select Add Webhook

3. Paste in the webhook url and append /github to the end. Select "Send me everything", set the type to application/json, and then Add Webhook

4. Test it by updating something or starring the repository! If it works, you're all set!

Why is /github at the end of the URL needed? Got it working with it, but not without it.

GitHub sends webooks in a certain format, but Discord expects webhook payloads to be formatted differently. This is why the default webhook URL will not work. So to make it easier to connect GitHub webhooks to Discord channels, Discord added an additional endpoint (/github) that accepts payloads formatted in the same way that GitHub sends them.

Makes sense.
I wondered how discord know which property to display as message/parses the json payload.

Is there a way to translate github member pings to discord member pings? like if I ping an account user1-acc on github, can discord parse that and ping user1's discord account?
