Github Hook Examples

ping Event:

When you first create the hook for a push event, it send the following request to test (a ping event):

POST /
headers { host: 'upbris.bryankendall.me:3000',
  accept: '*/*',
  'user-agent': 'GitHub Hookshot 3e70583',
  'x-github-event': 'ping',
  'x-github-delivery': 'e05eb1f2-fbc7-11e3-8e1d-423f213c5718',
  'content-type': 'application/json',
  'content-length': '529' }
body { zen: 'Encourage flow.',
  hook:
   { url: 'https://api.github.com/repos/bkendall/flaming-octo-nemesis/hooks/2472869',
     test_url: 'https://api.github.com/repos/bkendall/flaming-octo-nemesis/hooks/2472869/test',
     id: 2472869,
     name: 'web',
     active: true,
     events: [ 'push' ],
     config:
      { secret: '',
        url: 'http://upbris.bryankendall.me:3000/push',
        content_type: 'json',
        insecure_ssl: '0' },
     last_response: { code: null, status: 'unused', message: null },
     updated_at: '2014-06-24T17:49:23Z',
     created_at: '2014-06-24T17:49:23Z' },
  hook_id: 2472869 }

Push Event

An actual push event looks like this (this is a first commit):

POST /
headers { host: 'upbris.bryankendall.me:3000',
  accept: '*/*',
  'user-agent': 'GitHub Hookshot 2636b5a',
  'x-github-event': 'push',
  'x-github-delivery': '763c374e-fbc8-11e3-9918-1e687924f7ff',
  'content-type': 'application/json',
  'content-length': '1681' }
