The problem you want to solve:
I do not want my pipeline to check the Github resource each time it is run. I run a multi branch workflow and have a "parent" pipeline that is responsible for creating and managing the child pipelines, and for cleaning up the third party resources that those child pipelines use (e.g. terraform resources). I would like the parent pipeline to also manage the Github webhooks.
Your take on the correct solution to problem:
Add an optional arguments for pipeline and instance_vars to the github webhook resource, which would then allow me to set the webhook url correctly for the child pipelines. We may also need a vars argument to be able to correctly construct the URL to the pipeline instance (as described by the Concourse docs for resource.webhook_token).
Do you plan to submit a pull request to implement this change?
