Github: detect traction requests and their size

Question

I would like to be able to track download requests in my registry of git hubs, and I am particularly interested in the size of PR. For example, how many files were changed and how many lines were added / deleted. The idea is that I would like to highlight PRs that are considered too large.

Can anyone offer any advice on how this can be achieved? I already use the GitHub integration in Slack, which notify my PR channel, so I wonder if I can get caught in this. Or maybe the GitHub API can offer me something.

Thanks in advance.

You should install the webhook repository or change the one that is built into Slack integration.

Basically, the web host notifies you of any pullrequestevent . The resulting payload contains the object pull_requestwith the keys you are looking for:

• additions
• deletions
