lita-github-pinger

lita-github-pinger

This is a Lita handler for pinging you about github events that you should know about.

In particular, it can ping you under four circumstances (right now):

• Somebody has commented on your pull request
• Somebody has @mentioned you through a comment on a pull request
• Somebody has assigned you to a pull request
• Somebody has requested a pull request review from you
• The status of your pull request was set to "failing"

Installation

Add lita-github-pinger to your Lita instance's Gemfile:

gem "lita-github-pinger"

Configuration

For any repos which you would like to watch, add a GitHub webhook that will post to http://yourlitaapp.herokuapp.com/ghping and check off the following events:

• Issue comment
• Pull Request review comment
• Pull Request
• Status

You will also need to have a config variable named config.handlers.github_pinger.engineers set to the following:

config.handlers.github_pinger.engineers = {
  "Your Name" => {
    usernames: {
      slack: "yourname", # I know, not everybody uses slack - this will still work.
      github: "awesome"
    },
    github_preferences: {
      frequency: "all_discussion",
      notify_about_assignment: true,
      notify_about_review_requests: true,
      location: "dm"
    },
    status_preferences: {
      frequency: "only_failures"
    }
  },
  "Another Name" => {
    # ...
  }
}

Usage

There is no interface, Lita does all the talking here.
