Administering GitHub Web Hooks Using Hubot

Hubot can:

• List web hooks — hubot list hooks on <user>/<repo>
• Add GitHub event web hooks — hubot listen for events on <user>/<repo>

Where user is the GitHub user name for the repository and repo is the GitHub repository name. When it receives this command, it will attempt to use the GitHub API to add an event hook to the GitHub repository at https://github.com/user/repo. It will listen for all GitHub events.

In order for Hubot to administer hooks on your behalf, you must obtain an OAuth token and store it in the environment variable HUBOT_GITHUB_EVENT_HOOK_TOKEN. Also, Hubot will attempt to determine the URL where the hook can be delivered from either the HEROKU_URL environment variable, if deployed to Heroku, or the HUBOT_GITHUB_EVENT_BASE_URL environment variable.

Configuration

The GitHub Event Announcer responds to the URL http://hubot.example.com/hubot/github-events?room=someRoom where:

1. hubot.example.com is the fully-qualified domain name of your instance of Hubot
2. someRoom is the name of the chat room where you want announcements to show up

It also can be configured using the following environment values:

• HUBOT_GITHUB_EVENT_ANNOUNCE_EXCEPTIONS — If present, announces exceptions that occur during formatting
• HUBOT_GITHUB_EVENT_ANNOUNCE_UNHANDLED — If present, announces events that it doesn't understand by just dumping the JSON
• HUBOT_GITHUB_EVENT_DEFAULT_ROOM — If no room is specified in the hook, the announcer will send events to this room
• HUBOT_GITHUB_EVENT_SECRET — Currently unused except when creating hooks, but will eventually be used to verify the authenticity of GitHub events
