I've noticed some github repos have an automated process for validating files on pull requests.
For example say there is a JSON file that recieves a pull request. I'd like a setup where the new file is checked against a validation script. Then the bot would respond as a comment saying if the test was passed or not.
Here is a repo which seems to use a similar process.
What you need is the Github hook API. The basics are explained HERE.
Webhooks allow you to build or set up integrations which subscribe to certain events on GitHub.com. When one of those events is triggered, we'll send a HTTP POST payload to the webhook's configured URL. Webhooks can be used to update an external issue tracker, trigger CI builds, update a backup mirror, or even deploy to your production server. You're only limited by your imagination.
