#### Basic support for launching git-cron jobs

This snap declares a simple daemon for checking the jobs
defined in the defined project branches.

For each of the jobs, the checker/run script is executed,
it looks for changes on external resources, extracting the
relevant information according to the trigger file. In case
a change in the external resource related to a particular
branch is detected, then a commit is pushed to that branch,
so that the travis execution is triggered.

The snap must be able to push to the defined repo,
the credentials for doing so are passed to the snap via a
configure hook

```
 $ snap set git-cron username=<username> password=<password>
```

The project information is sent to the snap via a
configure hook

```
 $ snap set git-cron project-url=<project_url> project-name=<project_name> jobs-dir=<jobs_dir>
```

## Enable snaps on Kubuntu and install git-cron

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

If you’re running [Kubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus)](https://kubuntu.org/) or later, including [Kubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BionicBeaver/ReleaseNotes/Kubuntu) and [Kubuntu 18.10 (Cosmic Cuttlefish)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CosmicCuttlefish/ReleaseNotes/Kubuntu), you don’t need to do anything. Snap is already installed and ready to go.

Versions of Kubuntu between [14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr)](https://kubuntu.org/news/kubuntu-14-04-lts) and [15.10 (Wily Werewolf)](https://kubuntu.org/news/kubuntu-15-10) don’t include *snap* by default, but *snap* can be installed from the command line as follows:

```
sudo apt update
sudo apt install snapd
```
