Webhooks + REST FAQ - test

Where can I find the presentation slides?

You can download it from here.

What do I need to get started?

The workshop code and pre reqs can be found here.

What do I need to do to clean up?

Inside the workshop's code root folder, run the following script:

script/reset

It should kill both the webserver and ngrok.

I just want to see the complete code. What do I do?

To see everything running, you still need to setup everything mentioned in the workshop guide.

But if you just want to see the full code, run the following in your terminal:

git clone [email protected]:githubsatelliteworkshops/webhooks-with-rest.git

cd webhooks-with-rest

git checkout verify-webhooks

Majority of the code lives under webhooks-with-rest/changelogger/app/controllers/webhooks_controller.rb

What's the difference between GitHub Actions vs Webhooks?

GitHub Actions is built on top of GitHub Apps and webhooks and is tuned towards helping you with your CI/CD needs.

Outside of that domain, you can use webhooks to trigger other automations such as when other users interact with your repo.

Where can I manage my GitHub Webhooks? And how do I redeliver a webhook?

You can add, edit, and delete your webhooks here.

When you edit a webhook, you can scroll all the way to the bottom to the section called Recent Deliveries. Click on ellipsis to the right of each webhook to expand the content. There should be a Redeliver button.

How do I create a personal access token (PAT)?

Create a new personal access token here.

More detailed instructions can be found in our help docs.

I'm getting 404 when I navigate to GitHub Pages. What do I do?

Sorry, you'll have to wait for a little bit. It takes Pages a few minutes to build before it can display the content.
