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.

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.
