🚀 Self Hosting Guide

Use the official GitHub App to manage your code repository. You can also deploy this App on a self-hosted server. Here are the detailed instructions.

Create GitHub App

First, you need to create a GitHub app. GitHub itself documents this. Below is the set of permissions needed.

Repository permissions:

• Commit statuses: Read and write
• Contents: Read and write
• Merge queues: Read and write
• Metadata: Read-only
• Pull requests: Read and write
• Issues: Read and write

In Subscribe to events select following events:

• Commit comment
• Issue comment
• Issues
• Label
• Merge group
• Merge queue entry
• Pull request

Obtain App ID and Private Key

After creating a GitHub App, download the private key as app.pem in the current directory and remember the App ID.

Create a Webhook Channel

Visit https://smee.io to create a new channel, and remember the webhook proxy URL.

Configure GitHub App Webhook URL

Navigate to the GitHub App settings page, and fill the App's webhook URL field with the Smee webhook proxy URL.

Launch the Service

1. Clone repository:

git clone https://github.com/jwcesign/gitautomator.git

2. Export the necessary environment variables:

export APP_ID=xxx
export SMEEIO_URL=xxx
export CHATGPT_URL=https://api.openai.com/v1 # you can set another URL
