Github Owners Bot

A web service that suggests approvers for a GitHub pull request based on OWNERS files and enforces reviews by OWNERS as a GitHub status check.

Getting Started

• Clone the github-owners-bot repository. git clone git@github.com:google/github-owners-bot.git ${directory}

• Clone the target repository to be evaluated. The github-owners-bot app requires a local copy of the target repository that we evaluate. You will need to set the GITHUB_REPO_DIR environment variable to the path of that target repository. ex. git clone git@github.com:ampproject/amphtml.git ${target_directory}

• Set the REPO_DIR environment variable to the target_repository path that was used in the step above.

• Set the APP_ID environment variable to your GitHub probot application.

• Set the NODE_ENV environment variable to “development”.

• Set the WEBHOOK_SECRET environment variable to match what you set up on your GitHub Webhook pages.

• Install the amp-owners-bot GitHub on the remote target repository (This should be the same repository that you had closed for the local target repository)

• Go back into the github-owners-bot directory and run yarn.

• Run npm run dev to start the local server. You can also run LOG_LEVEL=trace npm run dev for maximum logging while developing the application.
