glitch-github-app

Deploy Probot apps using a web-based setup form

Creating a new GitHub App is free and easy. And there is a growing list of really cool bots built with Probot ready for you to deploy. With glitch-github-app, you can deploy own instances for all of them directly to Glitch, without writing a single line of code or ever touching your terminal.

Get started at probot.glitch.me šŸ¤–šŸŽāœØ

How it works

Glitch, compared to over deployment services like now or Heroku, allows you to write to the file system of your application. glitch-github-app takes advantage of that and simply overrides itself :)

When you submit the form, it uploads your *private-key.pem to .data/private-key.pem where only you can and the app can access it. It also writes the configuration like your Webhook Secret and the app id into the .env file, which is also only accessible to you.

Once the form is submitted, your GitHub App is ready to go!
