To start with development on Rocket.Chat Apps, you need to install the Rocket.Chat Apps Engline CLI. Enter the following commands :

  npm install -g @rocket.chat/apps-cli

Check of the CLI has been installed

rc-apps -v
# @rocket.chat/apps-cli/1.4.0 darwin-x64 node-v10.15.3

Clone the GitHub Repository

   git clone https://github.com/RocketChat/Apps.Github22

Enter the App.Github22 directory and install dependecies

  npm install

In order to install Rocket.Chat Apps on your development server, the server must be in development mode. Enable Apps development mode by navigating to Administration > General > Apps and click on the True radio button over the Enable development mode..
Build and Upload your application by running the following inside the apps directory (/App.Github22/github)

rc-apps deploy --url http://localhost:3000 --username <username> --password <password>

Where: http://localhost:3000 is your local server URL (if you are running in another port, change the 3000 to the appropriate port). username is the username of your admin user. password is the password of your admin user. If you want to update the app deployed in your Rocket.Chat instance after making changes to it, you can run:

rc-apps deploy --url http://localhost:3000 --username user_username --password user_password --update

The Application is now installed on the server. You can verify this by checking the installed applications from the administration panel. Enter /github or /github help in the message input box of any channel on the server to know about different features and how to trigger them using different slash commands.

🖥️ Application Setup 🖥️

The GitHub App uses the GitHub OAth2 and you must setup a GitHub OAuth App to unlock the full potential of the GitHub App.

The First Step is to setup a GitHub Oauth2 App. To setup the GitHub Oauth App Follow These Steps
The callback URL must be set to the url of your server as shown below. (Note : There is an issue of trailing slashes with RocketChat OathClient, so incase the authentication does not work, go to Administration Panel and try removing the trailing '/' at the end of the hosted url. This issue might not occur as it will be fixed in the future.)
Once the GitHub OAuth app is setup, open the GitHub Application Settings and enter the GitHub App OAuth Client Id and Client Secret over here.

The users can login to GitHub by entering the slash command /github login and then clicking on the Login button.

Users are logged out after a week but the users can also logout at any time by entering /github logout.
