ghpatch

A simple server that listens to pull requests from GitHub Webhooks and converts them to emailed patches.

Warning

/*
NOTE: Do not use this in production yet as GitHub secrets validation,
      replay attack prevention, quite a lot of error checking, etc., are not
      implemented yet.

Configuration

Modify main.go to configure the program. (This will change once I'm a bit more comfortable with Go.)

Run this behind a reverse proxy.

WAIVER OF PATENT RIGHTS

Notwithstanding the provisions of section 4, Affirmer acknowledges that the design codes, utility, technical figures, charts, methods, processes, and all information related to the patent/invention arising out of the Work, the sources, source codes, objects, object codes and all system documentation relating thereto shall not be confidential and shall be non-proprietary for the public worldwide. To the greatest extent permitted by, but not in contravention of, applicable law, Affirmer hereby overtly, fully, permanently, irrevocably and unconditionally waives, abandons, and surrenders all of Affirmer's patent rights and associated claims and causes of action, whether now known or unknown (including existing as well as future claims and causes of action) throughout the world, whether arising under federal law, state law, common law, foreign law, or otherwise, for any patent/invention included by Affirmer in the Work that are licensable by the Affirmer, both currently owned or controlled and acquired or controlled in the future (the "Waiver of Patent Rights"). The Waiver of Patent Rights shall not be subject to revocation, rescission, cancellation, termination, or any other legal or equitable action to disrupt the quiet enjoyment of the Work by the public as contemplated by Affirmer's express Statement of Purpose.

Should any part of the Waiver of Patent Rights for any reason be judged legally invalid or ineffective under applicable law, then the Waiver of Patent Rights shall be preserved to the maximum extent permitted taking into account Affirmer's express Statement of Purpose. In addition, to the extent the Waiver of Patent Rights is so judged, Affirmer hereby grants to each affected person a royalty-free, non transferable, non sublicensable, non exclusive, irrevocable and unconditional license to Affirmer's patent rights, where such license applies only to those patents/inventions included by Affirmer in the Work that are licensable by Affirmer, both currently owned or controlled and acquired or controlled in the future, that are necessarily infringed by making, having made, using, selling, offering for sale, importing or transferring the Work, or otherwise practicing any method or procedure in any patent/invention included by Affirmer in the Work, in whole or in part, alone or in combination with or included in any other Work (i) in all territories worldwide, (ii) for the maximum duration provided by applicable law or treaty (including future time extensions), (iii) in any current or future medium and for any number of copies, and (iv) for any purpose whatsoever, including without limitation commercial, advertising or promotional purposes (the "Patent License"). The Patent License shall be deemed effective as of the date this licensing document was applied by Affirmer to the Work. Should any part of the Patent License for any reason be judged legally invalid or ineffective under applicable law, such partial invalidity or ineffectiveness shall not invalidate the remainder of the Patent License, and in such case Affirmer hereby affirms that they will not (i) exercise any of their patent rights in the Work or (ii) assert any associated claims and causes of action with respect to the Work, in either case contrary to Affirmer's express Statement of Purpose.

Mirrors

• https://git.sr.ht/~runxiyu/ghpatch is the "canonical" repository
• https://git.runxiyu.org/runxiyu/current/ghpatch.git also exists and could be potentially be used for automatic deployment in the future
• https://github.com/runxiyu/ghpatch exists; however, pull requests are currently hooked to the GitHub endpoint of Hybrid rather than ghpatch itself
