GitHub Sync

[dvdln (David)]

I would love the ability to synchronize my SmartApps with GitHub repos! SmartThings team, can you make that happen?!

Here’s how I’d like my workflow to look like:

• Edit code on my local machine.
• Push my code to a GitHub.
• A GitHub webhook [1] tells SmartThings my code changed.
• SmartThings grabs my latest code and updates the SmartApp for me.

As an added bonus:

• Tag a commit with a semantic version [2] number
• SmartThings sees a new version
• SmartApp is automatically published (if it compiles, of course)

+1 on this for sure. I use github for all my SmartThings code already, and not having to copy and paste into the IDE would be amazing!

I agree, I’m waiting for something like this until I get into coding for my smartthings.
