Advantages:

• Easier to use
• No need to manually create webhooks
• Status updates / progress for GitHub pull requests
• Inline annotations in pull requests for faulty text strings marked by WP-CLI

Ideally we'd have 1 GitHub bot for all areas of our development workflow (translations, deployments, coding standards).

However, for other people it might be easier if there's a single bot for Traduttore they can use in their projects.

How to create a GitHub App:

• Go to https://github.com/organizations/<name>/settings/apps/new
• Enter name, description
• Check the "Active" checkbox in the Webhook section
• Enter the endpoint URL and secret(TRADUTTORE_GITHUB_SYNC_SECRET)
• In the Repository permissions section enable "Read-only" access for "Contents"
• Scroll down to the Subscribe to events section and check the "Push" checkbox
• Define who can install the app (leave "Only on this account" for a private app)
• Now you can install the app which automatically has access to all repos or the ones you have defined during the installation, no need to enter the webhook per repo anymore
