Do we now support .github/vars.yaml in repos now? I may have missed that in the PR but if we do that’s amaaazing!

ah sorry, I should of clarified. I initially looked into adding the repo specific params under a vars.yaml file, but there is no out of the box implementation for yaml reading for swift unless i create my own reader or use a 3rd party, therefore I moved to using a Config.plist file that holds all the repo specific vars. Also there is a ConfigManager singleton that reads from that plist file and provides the vars. I may have missed something in the idea behind this issue though so please let me know if so.

Ah: so the intent of this issue is to allow the installation repo to contain the plist file that configures the server’s behavior. The server would then, on any given input event, read the installation repo’s plist and use that to implement the behavior.

The end result is that, for example, the MDC iOS repo has a plist that configures its installation in a specific manner, while another installation might have a very different plist configuration.

Reopening assuming the above isn’t what landed.

This also means fewer deploys to the swift server in case we want to tweak behavior :)
