Bailiff

Brings code into the courtroom for judgement.

0. Get go ;). https://golang.org/doc/install#osx might be the easiest way since brew doesn't make paths easy.

1. go get -u github.com/benchlabs/bailiff - clones repo and builds binary

2. If previous command doesn't work because it doesn't read SSH properly:

   cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/BenchLabs
   git clone git@github.com:BenchLabs/bailiff
   cd bailiff
   go get -u
   go build
   

3. Get email from applicant with repo url. Find the cloneable url like git@github.com:BenchLabs/bailiff.git

4. bailiff open <repo url> <name of applicant>

5. Go to your repository (defined in your config) and see the fresh pull request.

6. Make insightful and polite comments on the quality of a stranger's code.

7. Delete the insightful and polite comments once they get hired: bailiff hired <name of applicant>

The name of the applicant will be the branch name in the target repository, which is defined in the config.
