app-issue-creator

This is the sample project that walks through creating a GitHub App and configuring a server to listen to installation events. When an App is added to an account, it will create an issue in each repository with a message, "added new app!".

Requirements

Ruby installed
Bundler installed
ngrok or localtunnel exposing port 4567 to allow GitHub to access your server

Set up a GitHub App

Set up and register GitHub App
Enable issue write permissions
If not running on a public-facing IP, use ngrok to generate a URL as documented here

Install and Run project

Install the required Ruby Gems by entering bundle install on the command line.

Set environment variables GITHUB_APP_ID and GITHUB_APP_PRIVATE_KEY. For example, run the following to store the private key to an environment variable: export GITHUB_APP_PRIVATE_KEY="$(less private-key.pem)"

To start the server, type ruby server.rb on the command line.

The sinatra server will be running at localhost:4567.
