GitEvents is a GitHub Action that helps your organizers with templates, interacts with your community members and automates typical event-related tasks such as sending tweets and emails.
The basic idea behind "git events" is that every person who interacts with the repo becomes a member of the organization/community. By becoming a member, people get GitHub notifications from your organization, which makes it easier for organizers to reach people and promotes interaction between your community.
- Create App
- Install App for your organization/repo
- Retrieve App ID

All comments, labels etc. will be managed by a GitHub App. You create the App yourself on the Organization account:
Replace ORGANIZATION with your organization name, such as CyprusJS, BarcelonaJS etc.
Follow the link above and you don't need to make any changes except the name. Pick a name, scroll down and create the App. After successful creation, you get to the App Settings screen. Scroll down to the section "Private Key" and create a key (it is downloaded immediately).
Head to the menu entry "Install App" and install the app in your organization.
Copy the App ID (GE_APP_ID), the installation ID (from the "Installed GitHub Apps", GE_APP_INSTALLATION_ID ) and the private key (GE_APP_PRIVATE_KEY) into the repo settings -> "Secrets":
