The usage is very simple. All you need to do is run the following command:

Note that you must run this command in a project root directory:

$ cd src
$ ruby mastodon_to_slack.rb

# Good
$ ruby src/mastodon_to_slack.rb

Toot something, and this tool will post a Mastodon status URL to a Slack channel!

To stop this tool just send SIGINT signal (press Ctrl-C).

When a connection closes or an error occurs, it outputs nothing because a log file is filled with tons of connection close and error messages!! If you want to output all of the statuses just append --verbose to the command.

$ ruby src/mastodon_to_slack.rb --verbose
