🔧 Deployment Steps

Step 1: Enable GitHub Pages

  1. Go to repository Settings
  2. Navigate to Pages section
  3. Set source to main branch
  4. Set folder to / (root)
  5. Save and wait for deployment

Your dashboards will be available at:

  • https://[username].github.io/[repo]/dashboard-enterprise.html
  • https://[username].github.io/[repo]/contributor-profiles.html
  • https://[username].github.io/[repo]/skill-search.html

Step 2: Configure GitHub Secrets

  1. Go to Settings > Secrets and variables > Actions
  2. Create new repository secrets:
    • PAYMENTOR_API_KEY
    • PAYMENTOR_SECRET_KEY
    • PAYMENTOR_WEBHOOK_SECRET
    • DISCORD_WEBHOOK_URL (optional)

Step 3: Test Workflows

# Manually trigger workflow
gh workflow run bounty-payout.yml

# Monitor workflow execution
gh run list

# View workflow logs
gh run view [run-id] --log

Step 4: Create First Bounty

  1. Create a GitHub issue with:

    • Title: "Test Bounty"
    • Body: "Bounty: $100 | Equity: 0.5%"
    • Label: bounty

  2. Create a PR that closes the issue

  3. Review the PR and merge

  4. Monitor the payout workflow:

    • Check GitHub Actions logs
    • Verify Paymentor transaction
    • Confirm audit log entry

Step 5: Verify All Systems

  • Equity tracking updated
  • Payout audit log created
  • Governance audit log created
  • Contributor profiles generated
  • Skills extracted
  • Dashboard updated
  • Discord notification sent (if configured)

📊 Monitoring & Maintenance

Daily Checks

  • GitHub Actions workflows running successfully
  • No failed payout transactions
  • Dashboard loading correctly
  • No error logs in audit trails

Weekly Checks

  • Review payout audit log
  • Check contributor activity
  • Verify governance votes
  • Monitor system performance

Monthly Checks

  • Generate tax reports
  • Review revenue metrics
  • Update documentation
  • Analyze contributor trends
  • Plan feature improvements

Quarterly Checks

  • Security audit
  • Performance optimization
  • Backup verification
  • Disaster recovery test
  • Compliance review

🔍 Monitoring Dashboards

GitHub Actions

Monitor workflow execution:

# List recent runs
gh run list --limit 10

# View specific run
gh run view [run-id] --log

# Cancel running workflow
gh run cancel [run-id]

Paymentor Dashboard

Monitor transactions:

  1. Log in to Paymentor
  2. Navigate to Transactions
  3. Filter by date range
  4. Check success rates
  5. Monitor fee collection

GitForge Dashboard

Access at: https://[username].github.io/[repo]/dashboard-enterprise.html

Key metrics to monitor:

  • Total payouts
  • GitForge revenue
  • Contributor count
  • Governance votes
  • Talent pipeline activity

🚨 Troubleshooting

Workflow Failures

Problem: GitHub Actions workflow fails

Solution:

  1. Check workflow logs in GitHub Actions tab
  2. Verify environment variables are set
  3. Check Paymentor API status
  4. Review error messages
  5. Retry failed workflow

Payout Failures

Problem: Payout transaction fails

Solution:

  1. Check Paymentor dashboard for error details
  2. Verify wallet address is valid
  3. Ensure sufficient balance in GitForge account
  4. Check network availability
  5. Retry transaction

Dashboard Not Loading

📈 Performance Optimization

Workflow Optimization

# Use caching to speed up workflows
- uses: actions/cache@v3
  with:
    path: node_modules
    key: ${{ runner.os }}-npm-${{ hashFiles('**/package-lock.json') }}

# Parallel jobs for faster execution
jobs:
  payout:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
  governance:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
  talent-pipeline:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

Dashboard Optimization

  • Minimize JSON file sizes
  • Use compression for large datasets
