MCBot = Markdown Cleanup Github Bot
Notes
The Theory
Here's how this thing works, in theory:
- First, you set up a Github bot account - the user that will do your bidding.
- Next, you create a Github OAuth account as that user. This OAuth application will ask users for various permissions. One of those permissions is the ability to commit to repositories.
- This is still totally unclear.
Useful: PR request hook (flask server) that comments on PRs from first-time contributors
How it works:
- Run the flask app somewhere (self-hosted, heroku, google app engine)
- Install a webhook in your repo that pings the endpoint, and only do on pull request events
