jthooks

Create a github webhook from the command line. Pronounced "ji-thooks", as one would say if pronouncing "githooks" with a soft G, instead of the more common hard-G "gih-thooks".

Usage

First, create a Github oauth token that has permission to read & write webhooks. Full admin permission is not required. Keep a record of the token somewhere secure.

jthooks [add|remove] user/repo https://example.com/hook shared-sekrit

Commands:
  add <repo> <hook> <secret>  add a hook to the given repo with the shared
                              secret
  remove <repo> <hook>        delete the given webhook; can pass id instead of
                              url

Options:
  --auth, -a   auth token (can also be set in GITHUB_AUTH_TOKEN or
               GITHUB_API_TOKEN)
  --url, -u    full URL of github API to use (optional)
  --quiet, -q  only log errors
  --id         id of existing hook to update (optional)
  --help       show this help                                          [boolean]

Examples:
  jthooks add foo/bar https://example.com/hook sooper-sekrit -a auth-token   add a webhook
  jthooks remove foo/bar https://example.com/hook  remove a hook by url
  jthooks remove foo/bar 123456                    remove a hook by id

If you want to update an existing webhook, run the script with --id. Otherwise the script will attempt to find an existing hook with the same url & update that in place. If no match is found, a hook is created.

Set the --url option if you're not running against github.com but instead wish to change a repo on your Github Enterprise installation.

TODO

Delete a hook.

More than merely cursory tests.
