Automatically lints Github Pull Requests and posts lints as review comments.
bundle install
Lintron uses a GitHub machine user to make the comments. You just set up a separate user for it and set up a new developer application for that user. Then, you will need a .env file containing to the following keys:
GITHUB_USERNAME=…from the github user
GITHUB_TOKEN=…from the github user
GITHUB_WEBHOOK_SECRET=…make up a secret shared between lintron and github
GITHUB_APP_ID=…the developer application's id
GITHUB_APP_SECRET=…the developer application's secret
Lintron uses webhooks to know when a PR has been created or updated. You'll need to set up the webhook on each repo you want Lintron to monitor.
The webhook url will be https://yourlintronhost/github_webhooks. The secret will be the one you set in your .env file. Lintron needs to be on a publicly reachable host to receive webhooks.
gem install lintron
You must create a .linty_rc file like:
{
"base_branch": "origin/master",
"base_url": "URL_OF_YOUR_LINTRON"
}
Then you can run lintron or lintron --watch
