Hubot GitHub Deployments

Integrate with GitHub deployment API.

Getting Started

This package allows you to create payloads to send to the GitHub Deployment API, then check on the status of the deployments. Combined with a deployment tool that listens to organizational or repository DeploymentEvent webhooks, this module can help automate that process via ChatOps.

Note: This package is configured for use with a single repository to a static list of environments.
