# [Nightli.es](https://nightli.es/)

Nightli.es provides automatic nightly builds for [Travis CI](https://travis-ci.org/).

## Why have nightly builds?

When developing a library, often some components like other libraries or the

language interpreter will use the latest available version. This can lead to

nasty situations when an upstream component releases a new version that breaks

your tests, but you don't find out until your next git push.  Nightli.es

ensures each project builds at least once every 24 hours so these failures will

be caught as soon as possible.

## Why does Nightli.es require so many GitHub permissions?

Nightli.es uses the Travis API to get the list of projects you have access to

and to kick off builds. Unfortunately Travis' GitHub authentication integration

requires that I request all the same permissions as Travis itself. Your GitHub

OAuth tokens are never stored server-side, only your Travis API token is stored

for use in starting builds via the API.
