GitHub Setup
To start using GitHoney, you need to add the Github App to your organization. This will allow the bot to respond to commands to manage the bounties.
Follow these steps to configure the app:
- Head over to the GitHub app installation page (opens in a new tab)
- Click on the Install button.
- Choose your organization from the list where you want to install GitHoney.
- Select the repositories where you'd like to apply bounties (you can choose all repositories or specific ones).
- Click the final "Install" button to confirm the process
During installation, the GitHub App will request the following permissions:
- Read access to metadata and organization custom properties: This allows the bot to understand your repository structure and settings.
- Read and write access to issues and pull requests: This is essential for the bot to interact with bounties, post comments, and update issue statuses.
Congratulations!
You've successfully installed and configured the GitHoney GitHub App for your organization. Now you can start using the app to manage bounties for your open-source projects. 🐝
