Mission Control GitHub Extension

This is an extension for Mission Control to use GitHub webhooks, and other features (in the future).

Setup

Add GITHUB_WEBHOOK_SECRET=a_securely_generated_random_string (and input a random key which will be used later to configure webhooks)

A quick method for generating an alphanumeric string:

openssl rand -hex 24
