a GitHub App built with probot that welcomes new users based off maintainer defined comments that should be located in a .github/config.yml
The 3 plugins it combines with are
new-issue-welcome

first-pr-merge
- Install the bot on the intended repositories. The plugin requires the following Permissions and Events:
- Pull requests: Read & Write
- Issues: Read & Write
- Create a .github/config.yml file to check for content of the comments:
# Configuration for welcome - https://github.com/behaviorbot/welcome
