Install GitForge

GitForge runs as a GitHub App. Install it on the repos where you want to post bounties — one click, no code changes, revocable any time.

GitForge GitHub App
Install on selected repos or your whole org
Opens https://github.com/apps/gitforge-bot/installations/new in a new tab.

What it does

  • Listens for /bounty and /claim issue comments.
  • Posts confirmation comments and adds bounty:claimed / bounty:completed labels.
  • Auto-releases payment when a PR with Closes #N gets merged on a submitted bounty.
  • Mints an onchain attestation for the contributor on payout.

Permissions requested

  • Issues — read & write (post comments, manage labels)
  • Pull requests — read (detect merges)
  • Metadata — read (mandatory)
  • Contents — read (parse linked issues from PR bodies)

We never request write access to your code. Funds flow only when you sign with your wallet — the bot doesn't hold money.

Quick start

1
Install the app on a repo
Click Install on GitHub above. Pick "Only select repositories" if you want to test on a single repo first.
2
Open an issue and post a bounty
On any issue in that repo, comment /bounty 0.001 ETH. The bot replies with a link to fund the escrow with your own wallet.
3
Wait for a contributor to claim
Anyone can comment /claim on the issue. They'll get a link to the claim page, where they sign with their wallet to lock the bounty.
4
Merge the PR
When a PR with Closes #N in the body gets merged, the bot callsrelease() on escrow and the contributor is paid. Done.
