Send your git commits to skype group chats

The SkPy Project provides a neat little python SDK around the skype messaging API.

Using this API, its quite simple to create a small bot that sends your development groups commits to your favourite Skype group. Even tho it is 2021, there are still people around that may stick to old fashioned messaging services. .. ;)

HOWTO

1. Logon to Skype and create a new group chat. Set the group chat title, add the Skype account used for the bot aswell as other persons to the group. Be sure to Logon with the Skype bot account once to accept the invitation.
