GitHub provides a solution for maintainers of open source projects who face challenges in managing communities by offering GitHub Apps, which automate various tasks using GitHub’s REST and GraphQL APIs. Built with the Probot framework, these open source apps are available for free and include tools such as Sentiment Bot, which uses Google's Perspective API to manage toxic comments, Welcome for greeting new users at key interaction points, Stale for automatically closing inactive issues and pull requests, and WIP to prevent premature merging of work-in-progress pull requests. These apps are highly customizable, allowing maintainers to tailor automation to their specific needs, and can be easily installed across designated repositories. For further inquiries or assistance, maintainers can contact GitHub’s support team.
