Global configuration #9

I am using that bot on organization and I want to avoid to add a config file in all the repo. It will be helpful to have a way to set an unique file for all the repo of an organization that shares the settings.

Thanks for opening this issue, a maintainer will get back to you shortly!

Yea this is something the maintainers of probot, (the platform on which the behaviorbot apps are built on) have discussed a few times. Right now there's no easy way to do it. A few people have written scripts to automate adding the config files to their orgs (@benbalter https://github.com/benbalter/probot-shared-config).

If we were to add this feature how would you want it to work?

Uhm probably something that you can configure on probot when you activate will be the best solution. Maybe create a single repo on the user that installed the bot will be a way. Inside a config file with all the settings for the projects or organization.

I'm +1 for this, but it would definitely get built into the probot core. So I'm gonna close this out, but you can follow along our progress in https://github.com/probot/probot/issues/258
