Github to Webmention
Send webmentions for new and updated posts on a static site.
This is still in a proof of concept stage, but it is working. I will clean it up and flush out documentation soon.
| Variable | Description |
|---|---|
PORT |
Port number |
BRANCH_NAME |
Git branch name to watch (defaults to master) |
CONTENT_DIRECTORY |
The directory in your repository to monitor for changes |
WEBSITE_URL |
URL where your site is hosted |

If your page is not found, number of seconds to wait before retrying (defaults to 45) |
MAX_RETRIES |

This app assumes you have some sort of automatic build of your site from GitHub, whether GitHub pages, Netlify, or some other service. Because builds can take a little time to finish and publish, your newly posted pages may not be available as soon as GitHub notifies github-to-webmention of the change. If your page is not found, github-to-webmention will wait and retry several times until it is found (or MAX_RETRIES is exceeded).
