To test GitHub webhook payloads locally, you can automate the generation and dispatch of realistic event data to a local webhook server. This allows you to validate local webhook handlers for events like pull_request and issue_comment before deploying.

You can simulate common GitHub webhook events such as pull_request and issue_comment for local endpoint testing. The generated payloads include configurable repository data and head SHAs to validate your webhook handler logic.

You configure the port, path, and secret for a local webhook server test by defining them in a config.yaml file. The testing tool reads this configuration to determine where to post the payload and to compute the HMAC signature.

Yes, you can verify HMAC webhook signatures when sending test payloads to localhost. When a secret is configured in your config.yaml, the tool computes the appropriate signature and includes it in the HTTP headers for validation.

Yes, this local webhook testing approach works with custom repository configurations. You can configure the repository data within the generated payloads, allowing you to test how your local webhook handler processes events from specific repositories.
