Detail Guide for Github Staticman App

Is there a detailed guide on how to use app? I’m using Jekyll and plan to switch from the collaborator to the app.

Followed every steps below:

1. Remove staticmanapp as a collaborator
2. Go to https://github.com/apps/staticman-net and install the application on your repository
3. Submit a comment to the new v3 endpoint, using dev.staticman.net as the base URL – i.e. https://dev.staticman.net/v3/entry/github/[USERNAME]/[REPOSITORY]/[BRANCH]

Getting a 400 “Invalid Version” error when using the post action below https://dev.staticman.net/v3/entry/github/[USERNAME]/[REPOSITORY]/[BRANCH]

@wini3d I’m sorry for eating my words said one and a half years ago. Thanks to https://hajekj.net/2020/04/15/staticman-setup-in-app-service/, I has provided an illustrated API setup guide: https://github.com/pacollins/hugo-future-imperfect-slim/wiki/staticman.yml.

I take it that the latest version of staticman would work on any setup, or are there still issues and would require specific guide?

@wini3d I’ve never (and I won’t) use the lastest GitHub Apps version (for reasons detailed iin my earlier comment https://github.com/eduardoboucas/staticman/issues/299#issuecomment-508029359), and I don’t know any guide about that.

Since you ask for issues about the lastest version, there’s one thing I can be sure: spam issue still concerns the GitHub Apps version. See the following repo for an example: https://github.com/zinefer/zinefer.github.com/pulls?utf8=✓&q=is%3Apr+label%3ASpam

Actually, the quoted instructions on the top is detailed enough. You just need to replace dev with api due to https://github.com/eduardoboucas/staticman/issues/278#issuecomment-475170669.

It would be also nice to have a straightforward setup with Heroku (one click) and Dokku if possible, just a thought.

Support for Heroku deploy button has already been requested in #305. I’d be glad to see a PR for the deploy button.
