gh-events
Publicly released: 2019
Via Webhooks Github can send a plethora of events, which can be used to facilitate all kinds of automation.
These events are untyped, meaning they clearly lack a property type to identify the type of event received. The rationale here might be that one would have different webhook endpoints for each type of events. But maintaining lots of endpoints is cumbersome. When all the events end up in one endpoint, this library helps by adding a property type to the event.
Additionally this library provides means of translating the plain event (a deeply nested data structure serialized to JSON) into a human readable textutal representation. Some functionality is wrapped in a command line utilites, for your convenience.
