NOTE: GitHub now has a more formal approach to integrating a DCO status check on a PR. I strongly recommend that you use that integration, instead.

dco-check-bot

A simple webhook that checks for valid DCO1.1 sign-off in a pull request.

Note: if you wish to add a repository to the dco-bot already deployed, contact me for the secret key.

Contributing

Pull requests welcome. Please see contribution guidelines.

Installation

1. Create a config.js using the config.js.sample as a template.
2. Choose a unique value for the webhook.secret, you'll also need to create an auth token for the auth.secret
3. Modify the manifest.yml, chosing a matching host and name for the deployed webhook bot.
4. Deploy to cloud foundry with cf push
5. Issue a test event by using the GitHub web UI
