Probot is a Node.js/TypeScript framework for building GitHub Apps that respond to webhook events and automate repository workflows. It provides a simple event-driven API on top of the GitHub API via Octokit, with granular permissions and webhook handling built in.
Use cases
- build a GitHub App that comments on new issues
- automate pull request labeling and merging rules
- draft release notes automatically when PRs merge
- keep forks up to date with upstream
- manage repository settings via pull requests
- run a code review bot on pull requests
- listen to GitHub webhooks and call the GitHub API
When to choose
- you want to extend GitHub with custom automation triggered by repository events
- you need a first-class GitHub App with granular permissions and webhook handling
- you want a large ecosystem of pre-built apps and templates to start from
- you prefer a simple event-driven JavaScript/TypeScript API over raw GitHub API calls
When to avoid
- you need automation for Git platforms other than GitHub
- you want a no-code solution without writing JavaScript or TypeScript
- you only need simple CI/CD pipelines that GitHub Actions already covers
- you need a standalone bot outside the GitHub Apps ecosystem
