ghbot

Github bot, primarily for the collectd project.

About

ghbot is a bot to automate tasks on Github, primarily to react to issues and pull requests.

Setup

1. Create a Personal access token for the Github user you want the bot to act as. To do so, go to Your profile → Settings → Developer settings → Personal access tokens. This is the access token for step 3.

2. Create a webhook under Your repository → Settings → Webhooks. Provide a shared secret with which the webhook will sign its request. For example:

   dd if=/dev/random bs=64 count=1 status=none | sha256sum
   

   This is the secret key for step 3.

3. Create a Datastore Entity with the access token and secret key:

   • Kind: credentials
   • Key identifier: singleton (string)
   • Properties
     • AccessToken: access token (string)
     • SecretKey: secret key (string)

4. Deploy to App Engine:

   gcloud app deploy --version="v$(date +%s)"
