@jakebolam Please ping me when you've got the core down and I'll try to work on some of the PRs.

[jakebolam]

Thanks, @tech4him1 will do 😃

Current status (for initial core):

• We need Probot v8 to be released to close out Probot is using octokit/rest 15, which is missing some features e.g. git.getRef #7 (PR is: Update @octokit/rest to the latest version 🚀 probot/probot#774)
• Comment-parsing (working on that later today)
• @tbenning is working on the logo

[jakebolam]

Update:
I've added the comment-parsing.
We have some of our first PRs created by the bot: #17 🎉

You're welcome to start looking through the code/issues now, and help if you can.

Once the Probot release is out, I'll fix all the tests and make it easy to dev on, then provide another update.

[jakebolam]

Update:
We're now running a preview version of probot-8 and development is unblocked 🎉
@tbenning has added the logo.

I think we're in a position where a good base is in and can't start polishing it.

👋 friends!

Glad y'all took the reigns on this as I haven't had time, despite my desire.

Is this ready for primetime? If so, I'd love to get it set up on our Transcripts repo and then cover it on Changelog News, which should help get the word out for y'all. 💚

[jakebolam]

@jerodsanto that would be great if you could. The first basic version has just started working. I'm sure there will be a few glitches but go on and give it a shot (any feedback would be appreciated).

Once you're happy with it a cover on Changelog News would be really appreciated!

[tech4him1]

@erquhart Do we want to go for this on Netlify CMS?

[jakebolam]

Go for it, its just the edge cases we're going after now. Can now use without the cli tool :)

[erquhart]

@tech4him1 yes!!

[jakebolam]

@jerodsanto I think we're ready for prime time!
