Create and enforce custom rules for your GitHub repositories. Setup custom rules around pull requests, commits and committers for all your Github repositories.

We will monitor all of your repositories for any rules violations from any members on your team. For example, a new member on your development team commits directly to the master branch, we are notified by Github of the violation. You will receive instant, unlimited notifications via Push, Flowdock, Slack and/or Email. You can customize Flowdock notifications for one repo, Slack notifications for another repo, or get all notifications for all repos.

About

OpenPacketLoss

Features
Read full description

OpenPacketLoss-Server is a lightweight utility that transforms your computer into a dedicated network testing endpoint. By hosting the server on your own hardware, you can measure the precise quality of the connection between two points on your network, eliminating the unpredictable variables of the public internet. How to Use It Run the Server: Launch the app on a stable PC or laptopβ€”this becomes your "target" device. Connect the Client: Use any OpenPacketLoss client on a different device (such as a phone, tablet, or another PC). Troubleshoot: Start the test to view real-time packet loss, jitter, and latency. Why Run Your Own Server? Testing against a server you control allows you to isolate your hardware. You can instantly determine if connection drops are caused by faulty cables, weak Wi-Fi, or router congestion, or if the issue is actually with your Internet Service Provider (ISP).
