What are some examples of GitHub webhook payloads?

GitHub webhooks send payloads in JSON format. For example, a push event payload includes details like the repository, commits, and the pusher.

Can you show me a sample JSON payload for a push event?

Sure! Here's a sample push event payload:

{
  "ref": "refs/heads/main",
  "before": "abc123",
  "after": "def456",
  "repository": {
    "id": 123456,
    "name": "example-repo"
  },
  "commits": [
    {
      "id": "def456",
      "message": "Update README.md"
    }
  ]
}

What other events can trigger webhooks?

Other events include issues, pull requests, releases, and forks. Each event has its own specific payload structure.

How can I test my webhook payloads?

You can use tools like ngrok to expose your local server to the internet and test the webhook payloads in real-time.
