hubot-assign-pr

A hubot script that assigns people to a PR on Github.

Installation

In hubot project repo, run:

npm install hubot-assign-pr --save

Then add hubot-assign-pr to your external-scripts.json:

[
  "hubot-assign-pr"
]

Sample usage

Defining the team

Create a file in the main directory with a nice name, like best-team-evr.json. Put a hashmap of your team members into it (key - display name (for ex. from slack/flowdock); value - login on Github):

{
  "Maciek": "mjurczyk",
  "SomeOtherGuy: "otherGuy",
  ...
}

And remember to put the filename in a proper environment variable after that:

export HUBOT_ASSIGN_TEAM=./best-team-evr.json

Github auth

If you would like hubot to post assignments directly to the pull requests on Github, export Basic Auth hash as a variable as well:

export HUBOT_GITHUB_AUTH="Basic YOUR_AUTH_HASH"

Calling the assignment

To ask for assignment, just give hubot the PR URL:

you > hubot: https://github.com/mjurczyk/hubot-assign-pr/pull/10
hubot > Assigned PR to @mjurczyk and @anotherGuy. Review the hell outta it!

Followed by that, hubot uses Github API and attempts to add proper comments to the pull request (requires Basic Auth).
