Run the application using your configuration file:
```console
/path/to/gh-wh-handler.<arch> /path/to/config.json /path/to/logs_dir
```

You can see the config file format below.

### Install from source

#### Install the dependencies:

- [CrowCpp](https://crowcpp.org/master/)
- [nlohmann::json](https://github.com/nlohmann/json)

#### Build and install the application:

1. Clone the repository:

```console
git clone https://github.com/TiagoRG/gh-wh-handler.git
```

2. Move to the build directory:
```console
cd gh-wh-handler/build
```

## Usage

The application is running on a systemd service, which is both enabled and started after installation.

You can start, stop, restart, and check the status of the service using the following commands:

```console
sudo systemctl start gh-wh-handler      # Start the service
sudo systemctl stop gh-wh-handler       # Stop the service
sudo systemctl restart gh-wh-handler    # Restart the service
sudo systemctl status gh-wh-handler     # Check the status of the service
```

You can also check the logs of the service using the following command:

```console
journalctl -u gh-wh-handler
```

## Configuration

As of now, the configuration menu is not yet implemented so you have to create the configuration file manually.

### Config File

The configuration file can be found in `/services/gh-wh-handler/config.json` and has the following base format:

```json
{
  "port": 65001,
  "tokens": {
    "owner/repo-name": "token"
  }
}
```

This configuration will then have more fields for each endpoint that you want to configure.

Note: Tokens are only required for private repositories.

## Endpoints

Currently, the only endpoint for the application is `/update-files`, which is used to update the local files on every push as well as run post-update scripts.

### `/update-files`

#### Webhook event: `push`

This endpoint allows the application to update specific files on the server when a push to a specific branch is made. This way, there's no need to manually update the files on the server or to pull the entire repository.

It also allows the application to run post-update scripts after the files are updated.

The configuration file must contain the `update-files` field, which is an object with the following format:

```json
"update-files": {
  "owner/repo-name": {
    "branch": "main",
    "files": {
      "path/to/remote/file": "/path/to/local/file",
      "...": "..."
    },
    "post-update": [
      "post-update-command",
      "post-update-script",
      "..."
    ]
  }
}
```
