Comrat sends you GitHub notifications through your desktop!
Run npm install in the directory where you've cloned the project. This will install everything. Ngrok will automatically tunnel an ngrok url to your node app. Copy the URL outputted - you'll use it in the next step.
Go to a GitHub repo you want to track (currently, you can only track repos you own) and go to Settings > Webhooks & Services > Add Webhook. Add the ngrok url from the step before with /post appended to the end - e.g. http://1234.ngrok.com/post - to the payload URL.
Select Let me select individual events in the trigger options menu and select Push, Pull Request, Issues, and Member. Of course, if you don't want to track any of these events specifically, don't check them.
Now, with your node server running, you'll receive notifications for any of the supported events below!
The ngrok URL should remain persistent for your server but, if you want a customized ngrok url or want to use your own server, simply open up main.js and mess with the line containing ngrok.connect.
Make sure you've installed growl correctly! Check out the instructions here!
