GitHub app for PR validation

[romanrostislavovich]

To check PR's validity a GitHub Bot should be created which runs a console command and send its results back to the PR.

The bot should work based on the following principles:

1. Trigger if there's a new PR;
2. Run a console command and report its results to the PR;
3. Bot's work result can be o two types: OK or Reject
   

For bot's creation you'll need:

• Registration in developer program Github
• GitHub Token
• Test repository

Implementation should include:

1. Public GitHub repository cloning to a temporary folder using GIT. After GitHub Bot's work regardless of its result this temporary folder should be deleted with all its contents.
2. Command launch and its answer analysis from the temporary folder.
3. Sending request to a PR about PR's successful check in case the command didn't cause any errors. In case it did, Reject status should be sent.
4. Configuration file which should contain:
   4.1. GitHubToken - required attribute
   4.2. GitHubName - Bot's name: optional, linter-bot by default
   4.3. GitHubURL - link to a Bot: optional, repometric.com by default
   4.4. TempPath - path to a temporary folder: optional, temp by default
   4.5. GitPath - path to GIT work directory: optional, /usr/bin/git/ by default
5. Possibility of Bot's run:
   5.1 locally - possibility to run the Bot locally is required
   5.2 via docker - launching the Bot via docker with the possibility of parameters configuration transfer
   5.3 via the cloud (using docker) - using the Bot in the cloud (using docker)
6. Logging during the Bot's running

Components that might help you:

• git
• docker
• GitHub API
• GitHub Token
• GitHub Develop
• Google Cloud

NOTE: Trigger not only when PR created, but when PR changed as well (reopened, new commits, etc.).
