Background

Contributors add new features to FOSSASIA GCI 2015 website through pull requests. Many have there own fork at http:// .github.io/gci15.fossasia.org. Its easier to follow if the specific link is available so others can get a preview of the new feature. Please use the Github API to create a service that adds this link as a comment to the PR itself.

Steps

• Learn about Github webhooks
• Go ahead and create a webhook for your own fork and test it locally
• Above guide is for ruby, so using ruby will be easier, but you can use a language/technology of your choice.
• Figure out the necessary webhook type
• Create the payload need for the create comment endpoint

Outcome

• A script that runs a server with an endpoint working as a Github webhook and calling Github API to create the desired comment.
• The script is hosted on Github.
