Github Bridge

[harlantwood]

Combining discussions about:

• deploys triggered by a git commit from a github webhook: Updating website in github publishes changes to IPFS && to ipfs.io ipfs-inactive/website#17 (comment)
• oauth gateway to allow users to github auth to use the API: Server side vs client side build matrix generation ipfs-inactive/project-repos#6 (comment)

I suggest we create a new repo ipfs/git-bridge which will handle both of these tasks, and possibly more github bridges as needs arise.

Remembering... don't we have something that uses github auth already? a bot / pinbot perhaps? or maybe @jbenet just mentioned this as an idea for the next (hubot) pinbot?

👍 would also be great if it could set appropriate DNS records so the mirror could be accessed via <github-username>.gh.ipfs.io

hm... @davidar are you thinking of an IPFS mirror of github repos? while that is clearly awesome, it's not what I'm proposing here, I'm proposing a server which handles the sever side of oauth (log in with github) and the server side of githooks, eg a server which can do builds/deploys on a given commit.

I edited the original post in this thread for clarity as well.

Hm, I originally suggested the repo be ipfs/git-bridge, but ipfs/github-bridge is more descriptive and clear.

@harlantwood Oh, sorry, I though you were talking about a webhook to deploy github-pages sites to IPFS.
