Description#

This plugin monitors for notifications and events either on Github user, organization or repository level. You’ll need a Github personal access token to use the service. To get one:

  • Access your Github profile settings

  • Select Developer Settings

  • Select Personal access tokens

  • Click Generate new token

This plugin requires the following permissions:

  • repo

  • notifications

  • read:org if you want to access repositories on organization level.

If neither repos nor org is specified then the plugin will monitor all new events on user level.

Configuration#

github:
  # [Required]
  # Github username.
  user:   # type=str

  # [Required]
  # Github personal access token.
  user_token:   # type=str

  # [Optional]
  # List of repos to be monitored - if a list is provided then only these repositories will be
  # monitored for events. Repositories should be passed in the format ``username/repository``.
  # repos:   # type=Optional[List[str]]

  # [Optional]
  # Organization to be monitored - if provided then only this organization will be monitored for events.
  # org:   # type=Optional[str]

  # [Optional]
  # How often the plugin should check for new events, in seconds (default: 60).
  # poll_seconds: 60  # type=int

  # [Optional]
  # Maximum number of events per resource that will be triggered if there is a large
  # number of events/notification since the last check (default: 10). Specify 0 or null for no limit.
  # max_events_per_scan: 10  # type=Optional[int]

  # [Optional]
  # How often the `RunnablePlugin.loop <https://docs.platypush.tech/platypush/plugins/.html#platypush.plugins.RunnablePlugin.loop>`_ function should be
  # executed (default: 15 seconds). *NOTE*: For back-compatibility
  # reasons, the `poll_seconds` argument is also supported, but it's
  # deprecated.
  # poll_interval: 15  # type=Optional[float]

  # [Optional]
  # How long we should wait for any running
  # threads/processes to stop before exiting (default: 5 seconds).
  # stop_timeout: 5  # type=Optional[float]

  # [Optional]
  # If set to True then the plugin will not monitor
  # for new events. This is useful if you want to run a plugin in
  # stateless mode and only leverage its actions, without triggering any
  # events. Defaults to False.
  # disable_monitor: False  # type=bool
