High-intent workflow

GitHub Webhook Testing on local development

Expose local GitHub webhook endpoints with stable URLs, fast replay loops, and secret verification for CI/CD automations.

Who this is for

Teams building repository automations, bots, and deployment triggers.

Primary keyword

github webhook localhost testing

Verification checkpoint

Validate X-Hub-Signature-256 and enforce idempotency for retries.

Quick start pattern

Command

instatunnel webhook init --provider github --port 3000 --path /webhooks/github

Public endpoint example

https://your-subdomain.instatunnel.my/webhooks/github

Provider field mapping

Public URLhttps://your-subdomain.instatunnel.my/webhooks/github
Local portUse the port from your local app command.
Success checkValidate X-Hub-Signature-256 and enforce idempotency for retries.

Failure fixes

If the provider cannot reach the endpoint, confirm the local app is running and restart the tunnel with the same subdomain.

If events arrive but fail verification, compare the exact public URL and signature secret configured in the provider dashboard.

If retries create duplicates, store the provider event ID before performing side effects.
