This is a simple utility to update the status of a commit on github. The primary use case is to update the status of a commit in a build environment.

Download the latest binary or brew tap thbishop/github-commit-status && brew install github-commit-status if you're on OSX.

Create a github token with repo:status scope and export it as an env var:

export GITHUB_TOKEN=1234

Update the status with:

github-commit-status --user foo --repo bar --commit $SHA --state success

You can also optionally include a target url, description, or context to be included in the status update:

github-commit-status --user foo \
                     --repo bar \
                     --commit $SHA \
                     --state success --target-url https://ci.example.com/build/1 \
                     --description "It failed because it is busted" \
                     --context ci

If you're using github enterprise, you can set the API endpoint with an env var like so:

export GITHUB_API=https://github.example.com/api/v3

If needed, a proxy can be configured using environment variables:

• http_proxy
• HTTP_PROXY

• Fork the project
• Make your feature addition or bug fix (with tests and docs) in a topic branch
• Make sure tests pass
• Send a pull request and I'll get it integrated
