Cheffromspace a423786200 docs: Clarify that GitHub PAT should be from bot account (#175)
Updated README.md and QUICKSTART.md to clearly specify that the GitHub Personal Access Token should be created from the bot account, not the main account. This is the proper security practice for bot authentication.

# 🚀 Quick Start Guide
Get Claude responding to your GitHub issues in minutes using Cloudflare Tunnel.
## Prerequisites
- GitHub account
- Docker installed
- Claude.ai account with Max plan (5x or 20x)
- Cloudflare account (free tier works)
## Step 1: Create a GitHub Bot Account
1. Sign out of GitHub and create a new account for your bot (e.g., `YourProjectBot`)
2. Sign in to your bot account and create a [Personal Access Token](https://github.com/settings/tokens) with `repo` and `write` permissions
3. Add the bot account as a collaborator to your repositories from your main account
## Step 2: Clone and Configure
```bash
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/claude-did-this/claude-hub.git
cd claude-hub
# Copy the quickstart environment file
cp .env.quickstart .env
# Edit .env with your values
nano .env
```
Required values:
- `GITHUB_TOKEN`: Your bot account's GitHub Personal Access Token
- `GITHUB_WEBHOOK_SECRET`: Generate with `openssl rand -hex 32`
- `BOT_USERNAME`: Your bot's GitHub username (e.g., `@YourProjectBot`)
- `BOT_EMAIL`: Your bot's email
- `AUTHORIZED_USERS`: Comma-separated GitHub usernames who can use the bot
## Step 3: Authenticate Claude
```bash
# Run the interactive setup
./scripts/setup/setup-claude-interactive.sh
```
This will:
1. Open your browser for Claude.ai authentication
2. Save your credentials securely
3. Confirm everything is working
## Step 4: Start the Service
```bash
# Start the webhook service
docker compose up -d
# Check it's running
docker compose logs -f webhook
```
## Step 5: Install Cloudflare Tunnel
### Option A: Ubuntu/Debian
```bash
# Add cloudflare gpg key
sudo mkdir -p --mode=0755 /usr/share/keyrings
curl -fsSL https://pkg.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-main.gpg | sudo tee /usr/share/keyrings/cloudflare-main.gpg >/dev/null
# Add this repo to your apt repositories
echo 'deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/cloudflare-main.gpg] https://pkg.cloudflare.com/cloudflared focal main' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/cloudflared.list
# Install cloudflared
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install cloudflared
```
### Option B: Direct Download
```bash
# Download the latest cloudflared binary
wget -q https://github.com/cloudflare/cloudflared/releases/latest/download/cloudflared-linux-amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i cloudflared-linux-amd64.deb
```
### Option C: Using snap
```bash
sudo snap install cloudflared
```
## Step 6: Create Tunnel
```bash
# Create a tunnel to your local service
cloudflared tunnel --url http://localhost:3002
```
Copy the generated URL (like `https://abc123.trycloudflare.com`)
## Step 7: Configure GitHub Webhook
1. Go to your repository → Settings → Webhooks
2. Click "Add webhook"
3. **Payload URL**: Your Cloudflare URL + `/api/webhooks/github`
- Example: `https://abc123.trycloudflare.com/api/webhooks/github`
4. **Content type**: `application/json`
5. **Secret**: Same value as `GITHUB_WEBHOOK_SECRET` in your .env
6. **Events**: Select "Let me select individual events"
- Check: Issues, Issue comments, Pull requests, Pull request reviews
## 🎉 You're Done!
Test it in your own repository by creating an issue and mentioning your bot:
```
@YourProjectBot Can you help me understand this codebase?
```
**Note:** Your bot will only respond in repositories where you've configured the webhook and to users listed in `AUTHORIZED_USERS`.
## Next Steps
- **Production Deployment**: Set up a permanent Cloudflare Tunnel with `cloudflared service install`
- **Advanced Features**: Check `.env.example` for PR auto-review, auto-tagging, and more
- **Multiple Repos**: Add the same webhook to any repo where you want bot assistance
