### Documentation

The bot expects two configuration files to be present.
Add a configuration file to each repository you want to support, and a secrets file on the bot server itself. Read on for instructions to set up each file:

* [Repository configuration](./documentation/config_docs.md)
* [Secrets](./documentation/secret_docs.md)

Some operations, such as fetching a config file from a private repository, or the commit corresponding to a commit comment event, require a personal access token. Refer [here](https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/github/authenticating-to-github/creating-a-personal-access-token) for detailed instructions on token generation.

*See `repos` if you need to support multiple repositories that use different tokens.*

## `gh_hook_token`

Refer [here](https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/developers/webhooks-and-events/securing-your-webhooks) for more information on securing webhooks with a token.

*See `repos` if you need to support multiple repositories that use different tokens.*

## `repos`

If you're using Monorobot for multiple repositories that need different secrets (e.g., one on github.com and another on GitHub Enterprise), you can provide them as an object. Secrets defined here will take precedence over those defined at the top level of the secrets file.

Repository URLs should be fully qualified (include the protocol).

```json
{
"https://github.com/acme/runner" : {
"gh_token": "XXX"
},
"https://git.acme.com/acme/coyote" : {
"gh_token": "XXX",
"gh_hook_token": "XXX"
}
}
```

## `allowed_repos`

Use this option to restrict incoming notifications from GitHub to approved repository URLs.

## `slack_access_token`

Refer [here](https://api.slack.com/authentication/oauth-v2) for obtaining an access token via OAuth.
