Go to https://github.com/apps/regex-checker\n2. Install it to your repositories\n3. Start using it!\n4. (Optional) Add config file for advanced features\n\n### Default Feature\nBy default, Regex Checker checks the title of every pull request and\nmark GitHub checks as in progress if any of the following pattern\n(case insensitive) is found:\n- WIP\n- DNM\n- Work in Progress\n- Do Not Merge\n\n### Advanced Features\nCreate a `.github/regex-check.yml` in your repository. This will\noverride default settings.\n\nExample:\n```yaml\n# mustMatch: a string (natural language or regular expression) that\n# the Pull Request title must match.\n# leave it empty or comment it if you don't need it.\n# You may need to have quotes wrapped around, otherwise it cannot be\n# parsed correctly in yaml format.\n\nmustMatch: \"^([^:]*|[^:]+[^ ]: [A-Z0-9*].*)$\"\n\n# The above will match `README.md: Update` or `Update README`,\n# but not `README.md:Update` (missing space after colon) or `README.md: update`\n# (shortlog needs to begin with a capital letter)\n# If you want the regular expression to match the whole title exactly, use\n# ^ at the beginning and $ at the end.\n\n\n# mustNotMatch: a list of strings that the Pull Request title must NOT contain\n# leave it empty or comment it if you don't need it. You can have a mixed list\n# of natural terms and regular expressions.\n\nmustNotMatch:\n  - WIP\n  - DNM\n  - \"^#\" # regular expression that prevents hashtag at the beginning of title\n\n\n# caseSensitive: whether you want your patterns to be case sensitive or not.\n# In case insensitive mode, `WIP` would match `WIP`, `wip`, `Wip`, etc.\n# Be careful that this might cause some unexpected match for regular expressions.\n\ncaseSensitive: true\n\n\n# failureStatus: Use `in_progress` or `failure`.\n\nfailureStatus: in_progress\n```\n\nIf you don't know about or are not familiar with regular expression,\n[this](https://regexone.com/) is a great resource and tutorial.\n\nYou can use [regex101](https://regex101.com) to test your regular expression online.\n\n## Development and Contributing\n### Setup on your own server\n\nRegex Checker is based on [Probot](https://probot.github.io/), a free GitHub App framework. It is running on heroku as a service 7x24 hours, so you don't need to\nbother installing or deploying it. However, If you do like to develop or deploy\nthis App on your own server, refer to [Probot Deployment Doc](https://probot.github.io/docs/deployment/).\n\n```sh\n# Install dependencies\nnpm install\n\n# Run the bot\nnpm start\n```\n\n### Contributing\n\nIf you have suggestions for how regex-checker could be improved, or want to report a bug, open an issue! We'd love all and any contributions.\n\nFor more, check out the [Contributing Guide](CONTRIBUTING.md).\n\n### License\n\n[ISC](LICENSE) © 2019 Boxuan Li \u003cliboxuan@connect.hku.hk\u003e\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fli-boxuan%2Fregex-checker","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fli-boxuan%2Fregex-checker","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fli-boxuan%2Fregex-checker/lists"}
