NPM targeted by malware campaign mimicking familiar library names
Socket uncovered npm malware campaign mimicking popular Node.js libraries and packages from other ecosystems; packages steal data and execute remote code.
This is a Ruby Gem that creats a post in a Jekyll based Git site and posts a tweet at the same time.
To use it, you'll need to create a YAML file with your basic setup information and Twitter API credentials:
consumer_key: "" consumer_secret: "" access_token: "" access_token_secret: "" author: "" posts_dir: "/Somewhere/repos/repo/_posts/"
Programmatically:
tw = Tweetgithub::Tweetgithub.new("/Users/someone/Desktop/tweet-github/twitter_secrets.yml")
tw.tweet('Post text')
From the command-line:
tweetgithub /Path/to/Yaml/ "Tweet text"
This will create a post in the Jekyll site then add, commit, and push the post, while also pushing it to Twitter.
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'tweetgithub'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install tweetgithub
