This is the Glitch equivalent of running create-probot-app to generate a new probot app locally. Updates to your code will instantly deploy and update live.
To get your own Glitch-hosted Probot up-and-running, follow these steps. If you need more detail, the Probot Docs are a great place to go to learn more.
- When you Remix an app on Glitch you get your own 🤖Glitch Probot App.
- The next step is to create a 😸GitHub App. Probot now has a handy button that does this for you automatically! Click the Glitch 🕶 Show button. In the editor it's right up top to the left.
- It will take you to your 🐠Glitch app URL +
/probot. And you'll see a button that says "Register GitHub App." Click it and it will take you to GitHub where you'll create a unique name for your 😸GitHub App like "Worlds Coolest Probot" - It will guide you through the steps, you'll want to install your new 😸GitHub App to at least one repository if you want to try it out.
- Open a new issue in the repository where you installed your app, and watch for your 🤖Glitch Probot App to reply!
That's it! Head back to the Probot Webhook Docs to learn how to start building out your 🤖Glitch Probot App.
- 🤖Glitch Probot App: Your Probot, hosted on Glitch
- 🐠Glitch app URL: the URL of your Glitch Probot app
- 😸GitHub App: A GitHub App that your 🤖Glitch Probot App uses to commicate with GitHub.
Glitch is the friendly commmunity where you'll build the app of your dreams. Glitch lets you instantly create, remix, edit, and host an app, bot or site, and you can invite collaborators or helpers to simultaneously edit code with you.
