remion Linthub: Static code analysis for GitHub pull requests

Actually, it does in a certain way. Travis runs builds (tests + Phare) for all pull requests (eg. https://travis-ci.org/mirego/encore/pull_requests) so we know if pull requests made by external contributors "break the build".

remion Linthub: Static code analysis for GitHub pull requests

Instead of using a service like this one (or Hound) that comments directly on pull requests, we chose to integrate the same tools in our build process with Phare (https://github.com/mirego/phare), a command-line tool we built which runs Rubocop, JSHint, JSCS, etc. and exits with a global status.

If the code has coding style violations, the build breaks. Exactly like it would if we pushed a failing test.

Personally, I’m not a fan of the noise generated by comments about coding style on pull requests.
