Passing Keys ssh-agent

Recently I had a need to pull a github repo onto a remote server.  When faced with this I would usually just pull using https for example run a clone command like this…

> git clone  https://github.com/patmandenver/slack-webhook.git

Which works just fine for an open repo, but if it’s a private repo you are forced to put in my username password not only when I clone, but every time I pull or push.

Not much fun.  I would rather pull via ssh and not have to worry about this.

AWS Lambda for forwarding a WebHook to Slack

Recently I had to deal with a monitoring service that provided a WebHook to send responses out.  However it was not Slack aware and did not know how to format the data sent in the WebHook so that it would show up in Slack Correctly.

So I thought…

One way to fix this is to have some service sit in-between and capture the outgoing WebHook filter the data and send it on to Slack in a format it understands.
