About

A team of developers, who were deeply immersed in projects across numerous popular platforms, saw an opportunity when they created Git Commits. After working on hundreds of projects, and seeing public projects improved because Contributors could fix issues, our Founder asked an important question: “What if Product Owners could simply add a bounty to Git issues and let talented Contributors do the work and get paid?” At Git Commits, the key is bridging the gap between Product Owners and Contributors Our platform revolutionizes the way these two groups work together, forever changing how work 'gits' done (Login Preview)

  • All the PayPal related helper functions are defined in App\Helpers\PayPal
  • Define the GitCommits commission setting in the .env file using the FEE_PERCENT variable.
  • Billing Agreement API- This is used to gain the Buyer (PO) Authorization to Make Payment on behalf of the Product Owner to Pay for the Bounty Orders.
  • Partner Referral - GitCommits uses this API to on-board the Sellers (Contributors) to raise an Invoice against the Bounties to receive the Payment from Buyers (PO)
  • Orders API - When a bounty is completed then GitCommits raises separate Invoice(s) against all fundings related to the bounty and process the order payment using Billing Agreement ID (Authorized by Buyers (PO))
  • All PayPal related logs are available under folder storage/logs/paypal

• GitHub Related configuration and Classes

  • GitHub APIs are being used to pull the public issues using GitHub PHP API Library.
  • Helper classes are defined in App\Helpers\Github
  • App uses the GitHub API to post comments on Issue on behalf of Gitcommit Bot or Users (for Private repos)
  • This requires Bot Access Token Configuration and Github Oauth App Client ID and Secret in the .env file.
  • Click here to create the GitHub Oauth application.
  • Click here to create the Bot Personal access token.

• Chat service is being used on the GitCommits Bounty Detail page, That requires chat server services to exchange the messages, So if Chat service will be off then users will be unable to send messages.

  • Chat service url can be configured in the .env file. ex: CHAT_SERVER_URL=http://127.0.0.1:4000
  • Chat service works with the GitCommits database, So Chat service should use same database credentials that we use with the App.
  • Please check Chat repo for chat server configuration guide.
