Repo Report

Repo Report is an Outlook add-in, made with Angular, that scans your emails for public GitHub repository links and displays information about the ones it finds.


Prerequisites

• npm, Node Package Manager, is required to install dev dependencies.
• Bower is required to install frontend dependencies.
• Gulp is used as a task runner, including serving the application on a development server.
• An Office 365 account. If you don't have one, you can join the Office 365 Developer Program and get a free 1 year subscription to Office 365.

Configure the add-in

1. Clone this repository.
2. Run npm install to install both npm and Bower dependencies.
3. Run gulp serve-static to start development server.
4. Go to mail.office365.com and sign in with your Office 365 account.
5. Click the gear icon on the upper right, then choose Manage add-ins.
6. Click the plus icon, then choose Add from a file.
7. Browse to this repository folder and choose manifest.xml.
8. Then complete the wizard (Next, Install, OK) to make the add-in available on your Office 365 account.
9. Finally, you'll have to open the app in a browser and trust the certificate for localhost:8443. The add-in won't run if your computer doesn't trust it.

Run the add-in

1. After installing the add-in, go to mail.office365.com.
2. Choose an email (you probably have to send yourself one first) that has at least one link to a public GitHub repository. The add-in is only activated if a target URL is found!
3. Click Repo Report found directly above the body of the email to see the add-in in action.
