Could our github-bot create PR to homebrew-core ?

Open ZYSzys opened this issue 6 years ago • 1 comments

I found our github-bot create PRs to docker-library/official-images, so wondering could he also create PRs to homebrew-core ?

Then maybe we can access the latest Node.js from homebrew more quickly.

That trick is kind of an illusion so to speak, as it's actually Travis CI who does everything in the docker-node example you showed above. The only thing related to the github-bot, is an GitHub API token which allows Travis CI to open PRs from the github-bot account -- does that make sense?

For clarity, I'm surely not negative to the idea your proposing, I just wanted to shed some light on how the docker-node example actually works.
