GH Webhook registration

To install the GitHub webhook, you need to create a webhook in the GitHub repository settings.

1. Navigate to Your Repository Settings: • Go to your GitHub account and select the repository where you want to add the webhook. • Click on the “Settings” tab located at the top of the repository page.
2. Access the Webhooks Section: • In the sidebar on the left, click on “Webhooks.”
3. Add a New Webhook: • Click the “Add webhook” button on the right side of the page.
4. Configure the Webhook: • Payload URL: Enter your application URL where you want GitHub to send the payloads. Don’t forget to add /webhook/github route at the end. • Content type: application/json. • Secret: Provide a secret key to ensure that payloads are sent from GitHub. The same key should be set as GITHUB_WEBHOOK_SECRET environment variable.
5. Select Events: • Pick Let me select individual events option and select Pull requests events.
6. Activate the Webhook: • Ensure the “Active” checkbox is selected to make the webhook active immediately after creation. 
7. Finalize: • Click the “Add webhook” button to save and activate the webhook. 

Once the webhook is set up, GitHub will send a ping event to the specified payload URL to verify the configuration.
