Integrate GitHint Bot in Slack
with Axolo

GitHint Bot is a GitHub application that helps ensure that your pull requests adhere to specific conventions. While tools like ESLint or Hound CI can check for some conventions, there are others that may be more arbitrary or practical that can't be easily checked. GitHint Bot is designed to check for these types of conventions. It fetches metadata about pull requests, commits, branches, and trees, and passes this information to user-defined scripts for evaluation. These scripts are expected to return a true or false value to determine if a pull request meets the required conventions and is ready to be merged.

With GitHint Bot, you can define specific conventions for your pull requests, such as requiring a certain number of review comments or ensuring that the user's first name is not more than six characters long. This ensures that all pull requests follow the same guidelines, making it easier to maintain code quality and consistency across your projects. By automating these checks, GitHint Bot saves time and reduces the risk of human error. Overall, GitHint Bot is an essential tool for any team looking to streamline their pull request process and improve their code quality.
