Say it with Bots!
summary
Builds a real GitHub App bot in Python 3.7 that greets installers and thanks first‑time PR authors, using gidgethub, aiohttp, asyncio and deploying to Heroku. Demonstrates obtaining an installation access token via JWT, making API calls to create/close issues, post comments, add reactions and labels, and reading webhook payloads to detect sender association. The tutorial walks through code, Heroku config and private key setup and shows the bot actually running and responding.
