As developers, we ship features every day, but summarizing technical Pull Requests or Release notes into engaging LinkedIn posts is often an afterthought or a manual chore.

To solve this, I built **Git-To-Feed**—an open-source Go microservice that listens to GitHub webhooks, processes technical context via Gemini AI, and requires a human approval tap in Discord before publishing to LinkedIn.

Here is how the event-driven pipeline flows:

``` php
flowchart TD
    GH["GitHub Webhook"] -->|"HMAC Verified"| WH["Webhook Handler"]
    WH --> PIPE["Pipeline Gemini AI"]
    PIPE --> BOT["Discord Bot"]
    BOT -->|"Approve / Reject"| APP["Approval Engine"]
    APP -->|"Published"| LI["LinkedIn API"]
```

**Package-by-Feature Layout:** Domain logic (internal/approval, internal/pipeline, internal/publisher) is cleanly separated from infrastructure adapters (internal/platform).

**HMAC Signature Verification:** Webhooks are validated before processing payload memory.

**Anti-Cringe & Few-Shot Prompting:** Structured AI templates convert technical jargon into clear release announcements without corporate fluff.

**Human-in-the-Loop:** Discord WebSocket bot renders interactive action buttons (Approve / Reject) so no post goes live without dev review.

The repository is live on GitHub under the MIT license!

We have open issues labeled good first issue and help wanted for CI/CD setup, multi-channel routing, and test coverage. PRs and star support are highly appreciated!
