Radix GitHub App

Work in progress.

The current code only works locally, but should be trivial to run in a proper domain. Check these links to set things and understand what's going on:

• https://developer.github.com/apps/quickstart-guides/setting-up-your-development-environment/
• https://developer.github.com/apps/quickstart-guides/using-the-github-api-in-your-app/

The app currently creates GitHub Statuses on PR commits.

Check the code: this app is a server; the entrypoint is index.js.

To run this you need to:

• Run npm install (once, or when deps change)
• Set up a new GitHub app (on your GitHub account for now)
• Populate the .env file (use a personal token to test)
• Run the Smee local proxy (see "setting up your dev env")
• Run the server (npm start)
• Point the app at the running server (i.e. this app)
• Create a repo (in your GitHub account) for a simple Radix app
• Set up the Radix app in the dev cluster (currently hardcoded)
• Install the GitHub app in that repo

Note that you need to update the personal token in .env about once an hour. If you're on Mac, use this to acquire a token and copy it to the clipboard:

az account get-access-token | jq -r .accessToken | pbcopy
