[bot] Hide Old Comment On Push

[XAMPPRocky]

Also would be nice if the GitHub bot hid its previous comment when you push to a PR.

😕 looks like the only way is through the GraphQL v4 client (we use the v3 client right now).

Which is a bit more tricky to get up and running.

Can you send a raw http request with the Go GitHub client? (the official ones usually have something), you could hardcode the graphql query and just send it as the body to a post request.

Doesn't look like it. Sounds like if we want to do this, I need to learn GraphQL a bit 😄 Not the worst thing - just a bit more complicated.

Golang v4 client: https://github.com/shurcooL/githubv4

Digging into this some more, it doesn't look particularly onerous. I just need to do some learning. The Golang library API surface seems pretty reasonable. Just a mental shift from doing things the REST way.

Since it came up on Discord, here is where the bot code is:

So I'm pretty happy with how the bot is working with deleting old statuses! I've yet to want go back to a previous build.

So unless anyone objects, I'm happy to close this ticket!
