Open nelsonic opened 7 years ago

nelsonic commented 7 years ago

The README.md tells me I need a GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN in my .env file ... https://github.com/dwyl/dwylbot/blame/d28c1790f820c48b62360a450c3c2d953aa71cc5/README.md#L17 ... how do I get one of those...?

I think it's worth clarifying the use-case for dwylbot and exactly how the Auth needs to work. relates to #30

The GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN won't be needed anymore. It was use during my spike to send API requests to Github. The users will have to signup with their Github account to dwylbot, this will give us a token for each user that we will use to send API requests. does this sound right @nelsonic?

@SimonLab we need to store some kind of Access Token so that we can issue subsequent HTTP requests. Unless the user authorises the application to access their repository ...

@simonlab can this be closed?

@markwilliamfirth I need to update the documentation. dwlbot is now using Github App which provide a private key to send http request to Github
