Fourth Wall

Pure client-side pull request and build status monitor for Github repositories that use Travis.

How to use

The project is hosted through Github pages: http://alphagov.github.io/fourth-wall/?token=_token_&gist=_gist_id_

You will need to have a Github API token with access to the relevant repositories if you don't already have one. To do that, visit https://github.com/settings/applications and create a new personal access token.

The following query parameters are required:

• token: Your Github API token
• gist: ID of the Gist containing the list of repositories to monitor

Optional query parameters:

• listinterval: Update interval for the list of monitored repos in seconds (default: 900)
• interval: Update interval for monitored repos in seconds (default: 60)

The Gist should contain one or more JSON files with this syntax:

[
  {
    "userName": "<username of the repo owner>",
    "repo": "<repository name>"
  }
]

If the Gist contains a file with the language set to CSS, it will be injected into a <style> block in the document head, so you can override the default styling without having to fork this repo.

Examples:

• A simple list of repos for the Performance Platform team
• A list of repos and custom CSS for the Mainstream team

Support for other githubs

If you use github enterprise you must add the baseUrl to each repo object and add a token for that hostname. The url parameter for the other hostname should be of the form <hostname>_token.

An example enterprise repository.

[
  {
    "baseUrl": "https://myhost.com/api/v3/repos",
    "userName": "<username of the repo owner>",
    "repo": "<repository name>"
  }
]
