Proof of Concept

The proof of concept is the first project milestone. It includes a minimal implementation of core features:

• Bot is invoked in a GitLab CI pipeline.
• Bot reads environment variables and configuration from a file (name is hardcoded).
• Bot credentials are stored in pipeline settings and provided as environment variables.
• Path to the document and channel’s name are stored in a configuration file.
• Bot reads content in Markdown from a document.
• Bot posts the content to a channel, as a new post each time.
