Contributing

This package welcomes contributions. While the basic unit tests are runnable (npm t) Unfortunatly because it is requires access to the GitHub api it means you need to have a token with access to create the issues as part of the integration tests. To specify the key you need to create a personal access token and put it in a .env file as GITHUB_TOKEN=<TOKEN>. Then you can run npm run test:integration to run the main integration tests. To be honest this should probably be configurable, contributions welcome.
