Mixed improvements on server and client

[mcornella]

This PR contains the following improvements:

• Add cross-env dependency so that npm start works.
• Mark PullRequestEvents as merged when appropriate: as is now, closed and merged PRs have both an action = closed. See the description of the action field in the PullRequestEvent documentation.
• Include URL of the specific event when sending it to the client, and display that in the client. This includes all events except PushEvents which don't include an appropriate URL in the API response.

Tested locally.

That was quick! 😄

[mcornella]

I was waiting for it :blush:

On another topic, these binaries are huge, it'd be better putting them in another place: maybe using github LFS or just putting them as a release which doesn't involve any additional installation.

In any case that would involve rewriting history to delete them out of the repository, because it has become super-slow to fetch and push due to the extra 80MB. It would probably involve telling people that you rebased master, but since it's 8 days ago it shouldn't have much impact and the benefit is clear.

Just one catch here. Now push events are redirecting to https://api.github.com URL.

Maybe that's fine, I'm not sure what users prefer.

Oh sorry I thought I fixed it. It seems I didn't double check it and the API docs are wrong, there doesn't seem to be any html_url field:

  type: 'PushEvent',

  public: true,
  created_at: '2016-10-21T07:41:23Z',

     url: 'https://api.github.com/orgs/muhkuh-sys',
     avatar_url: 'https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/7113795?' } }

It should be easy to change just manually concatenating the repo_name, as it was before in the client side:

diff --git a/server/index.js b/server/index.js
index caa879e..36b0774 100755

Thanks! I'll do it.

[mcornella]

Make sure to remove the binaries, it will be a huge source of pain in the future, that happened to me as well. git rebase and delete the commits, don't make a git rm commit because the size will still be there in the earlier commits. Right now not many forks have these commits so it'll be easy making a push force. Use github releases to store the binaries instead.

[debugger22]

Did you mean to remove the binary files and rebase to the commit prior to the commit having binary files?

[mcornella]

No, that won't work. You have to make an interactive rebase to the commit prior to the one having binary files. git rebase -i 864d3ea74^ and edit the commits where you introduced them.

You can use git log --oneline --name-only to identify which files changed on each commit:

$ git log --oneline --name-only

It seems you'll only have to edit 864d3ea (Add binaries for macOS and Linux) and afaa324 (Move bin to static). If you're unfamiliar with rebase interactive let me know, but there should be a helpful explanation of how to use it once you run the git rebase -i command.

Let me know if I need to explain further!

Oh, and at some point you'll have to also change the URLs from index.html but that can be done afterwards.

I've found a way to do it programatically better. Make sure you're on the most updated master and you have your zip files backed up somewhere else:

1. Reconstruct git history ignoring big files (from Purging a file or directory from history):

   reconstruct_git_ignoring_file() { git filter-branch -f --prune-empty --index-filter \
   "git rm -rf --cached --ignore-unmatch \"$1\"" --tag-name-filter cat -- --all }
   
   reconstruct_git_ignoring_file app/public/bin/GitHub-Audio-v1.0-linux-x64.zip
   reconstruct_git_ignoring_file app/public/bin/GitHub-Audio-v1.0-macOS-x64.zip
   reconstruct_git_ignoring_file bin/GitHub-Audio-v1.0-linux-x64.zip
   reconstruct_git_ignoring_file bin/GitHub-Audio-v1.0-macOS-x64.zip

2. Delete backup refs, purge and garbage-collect all unreachable commits: those in the master branch, other branches or on tags won't be deleted (from this stackoverflow answer):

   git for-each-ref --format='delete %(refname)' refs/original | git update-ref --stdin
   git reflog expire --expire-unreachable=now --all
   git gc --prune=now

This reduces significantly the size of the git repository:

$ du -s .git   # before
83M     .git
$ du -s .git   # after
2.5M    .git

Afterwards, you have to make a force push git push -f and that's all. Make sure you merge #26 first or else it will be more difficult solving the conflict.
