Integrating Github

Basic integration.

First fork this repository

Run the react app by running

npm start --prefix ghapp

Run the backend which is required by running

node app.js

Login with GitHub

When the react app is running, by going to localhost:3000/, you can see a button to sign in with GitHub. Once signing in is complete and authorization is given, the app will return to a new page showing the access token given by GitHub that we can use to make requests on behalf of the user to the GitHub API.

Webhooks

app.js and payload.js are the frameworks for processing GitHub events such as new Pull Requests, closing PRs, new issues, new push, deployment etc.

For webhooks to work, you need this framework and you need to setup a webhook that posts to your endpoint with this framework.
