- Running the Application
This Node.js application leverages GitHub Webhooks to perform various automated actions on GitHub repositories. It listens for webhook events, such as issue comments, and responds accordingly by generating and posting comments using OpenAI's prompt generation.
- Clone the repository containing this application.
- Install the required dependencies by running:
npm install
- Create .env with your enviroment variables
APP_ID=your_app_id WEBHOOK_SECRET=your_webhook_secret PRIVATE_KEY_PATH=path_to_your_private_key API_KEY=your_openai_api_key ORGANIZATION=your_organization_name
Ensure you have obtained the necessary credentials from GitHub and OpenAI:
APP_ID: GitHub App ID for authentication.
WEBHOOK_SECRET: Secret token used for webhook payload verification.
PRIVATE_KEY_PATH: Path to the private key file for GitHub App authentication.
To use this application, follow these steps:
- Configure your environment variables in the .env file as mentioned above.
- Implement additional functionality within the provided functions, such as promptText, to customize the application's behavior.
- Define specific responses and actions within the webhook event handling functions.
- Customize the handleGetListCommentFromIssue and handlePostResumeFromIssue functions to match your use case.
The application listens for specific webhook events, such as issue_comment, and responds by executing designated functions. The webhook handlers are defined under the service function, which orchestrates the entire process.
This application does not expose any external API endpoints. It interacts with GitHub's webhook events and responds accordingly.
The application leverages OpenAI's API to generate responses based on prompts. The integration with OpenAI is achieved through the prompt function provided in the snippet. Make sure to customize the prompts and configurations according to your requirements.
```shell
npm run dev
```
```shell
npx smee -u 'URL_WEBHOOK_FROM_SMEE' -t http://localhost:3000/api/webhook
```
This documentation has provided an overview of the GitHub Webhooks automation application. By utilizing GitHub webhooks and OpenAI's prompt generation, you can automate various tasks based on user interactions within GitHub repositories. Customize the provided functions and event handlers to suit your specific use cases.
