GitHub App using

• Python 3.7
• gidgethub
• aiohttp
• pyjwt
• cryptography

See requirements.txt.

When the command line script is run, the GitHub App will open an issue in the repo.

1. Create a GitHub App. Give it the necessary permission. Read and write access is needed to access Issues.

2. Have a user install the app.

3. Record the App ID. It can be found in the App's settings under "About" heading.

4. Generate a private key for the app here

1. Install the dependencies, preferably using a virtual environment. For example:

   python3.7 -m venv venv
   source venv/bin/activate
   python -m pip install -U pip
   python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
   

2. Create the environment variable GH_APP_ID. (obtained from GitHub App Creation step 3 ). For example:

   export GH_APP_ID=1235
   

3. Create the environment variable `PEM_FILE_PATH```, that is the path to the private key file (downloaded in GitHub App Creation step 4). For example::

   export PEM_FILE_PATH=./my-app.2018-11-11.private-key.pem
   

4. Run the command line script:

   python3 __main__.py
