GitEvents is a GitHub Action that helps your organizers with templates, interacts with your community members and automates typical event-related tasks such as sending tweets and emails.

The basic idea behind "git events" is that every person who interacts with the repo becomes a member of the community. By becoming a member, people get GitHub notifications from your organization, which makes it easier for organizers to reach people and promotes interaction between your community.

In order to comment on issues, add/remove labels or invite community members, GitEvents runs best with a dedicated bot account that only has access to one organization. You should make sure that 2FA and other safety measures are taken to protect this account.

1. Create a new GitHub account
2. Create a Personal Access Token
3. Add the account to your organziation. The bot needs admin:org access to invite members, and repo for access to issues, comments etc.
