SponsorBoi

A Discord bot which syncs Github Sponsors to Discord roles.

Discord users may register their Github accounts using bot commands and they can be granted roles depending on their sponsorship tiers via the Github API.

The bot works by having the user create an issue in one of your repositories containing their Discord ID, then run the link command in your Discord server. The bot then checks the most recent issues of the repo for the ID and links the Github user with the Discord user when it is found.

The user is then granted a role according to your config and the bot will re-check all linked users every two hours (by default) to make sure they are still a sponsor. If a user unlinks themselves they also lose their sponsor role until they re-link. If a linked user re-joins the Discord server they will retain their role.
