Giscus

Note: As of March 5, 2020 Giscus just has a static homepage. No need to update anything on this code because there is no longer a staging site.

Note: As of May 8, 2019, GitHub added gist notifications natively. We're disabling the service, but keeping it online for posterity.

• Download dependencies:

composer install
yarn

• Copy .env.example to .env:

cp .env.example .env

• Generate application key:

php artisan key:generate

• Create a new OAuth App in your github account:

• Set the Github environment variables in your .env file, from a generated OAuth app

For example, if you are using Laravel Valet, you likely have Giscus running on http://giscus.test. Your Github .env variables should look like this:

GITHUB_ID=someLongString
GITHUB_SECRET=someLongString
GITHUB_URL=http://giscus.test/auth/github/callback

• If you want the tests to work, copy .env.test.example to .env.test and set the following GitHub env var in .env.test, from a generated token:

TESTING_USER_GITHUB_API_TOKEN=someLongString
