Github Pull Request Checks

Question

Is it possible to create a Github Check for pull requests? I know there are WebHooks, but is there a way to also hook into the UI?

Aim:

• Pull Request

Answer 1

Note: you now (August 2018) officially have the notion of Checks

When checks are set up in a repository, pull requests have a Checks tab where you can view detailed build output from status checks and rerun failed checks.
