README.md

Probot

Probot is bot framework for GitHub. It's like Hubot, but for GitHub instead of chat.

If you've ever thought, "wouldn't it be cool if GitHub could…"; imma stop you right there. Most features can actually be added via GitHub Integrations:

Integrations are a new way to extend GitHub. They can be installed directly on organizations and user accounts and granted access to specific repositories. They come with granular permissions and built-in webhooks. Integrations are first class actors within GitHub.

Documentation on GitHub Integrations

Some companies provide hosted integrations that you can install, but there's also a bunch of really cool things you can build yourself, and Probot aims to make that easy.

Here are a few examples of things you can build:

  • autoresponder replies to opened issues with the contents of .github/ISSUE_REPLY_TEMPLATE.md
  • stale closes abandoned issues after a period of inactivity.

Browse all probot plugins.

Contributing

Most of the interesting things are built with plugins, so consider starting by writing a new plugin or improving one of the existing ones.

See CONTRIBUTING.md for other ways to contribute.
