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".
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 idIf 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.
Delete a hook.
More than merely cursory tests.
