Travis CI cron support

This project uses a Travis CI cronjob to automatically sync with the offical Slack documentation once per day.
To make this work, we needed to generate a personal access token with the public_repo permission. That's the only Github API permission that is required. Since the token should be private, we pass it to Travis securely as an environment variable in our repository settings. The environment variable is called GH_TOKEN.

Recreating the Github token

In case the GH_TOKEN needs to be renewed, please follow these steps:

1. Create a personal access token.
2. Go to the slack-api-ref settings on Travis.
3. Add the access token as an environment variable.
