script for publishing tmate sessions to slack

tslack

#!/bin/bash

set -e

SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL=https://wtf.bbq
DEFAULT_EMOJI=:robot_face:
CHANNEL=${1:-#remote}
AUTHOR="tmate"

tmate -S /tmp/tmate.sock new-session -d && tmate -S /tmp/tmate.sock wait tmate-ready
TMATE_URL=`tmate -S /tmp/tmate.sock display -p '#{tmate_ssh}'`


PAYLOAD='payload={"channel": "'$CHANNEL'", "username": "'$AUTHOR'", "text": "I have setup a new tmate session for you to join. Here is the url: '$TMATE_URL'", "icon_emoji": "'$DEFAULT_EMOJI'"}'

curl -sS -o /dev/null -X POST --data-urlencode  "$PAYLOAD" $SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL

tmate -S /tmp/tmate.sock attach

Would be useful if it allowed pinging a particular user with the link, usage tslack @kliph #general results in @kliph I have setup a new tmate session for you to join. Here is the url: ... in the #general channel.

Shout out to @marcosnils for creating this script. Thanks! :)

It would be nice to extend this to take an argument to close down the current tmate session.
