GitHub webhook testing
Test GitHub webhooks on localhost—without exposing a port.
Debug GitHub webhooks (pushes, PRs, issues) without deploying. Point a repo or org webhook at RelayFox and inspect every delivery. RelayFox keeps receiving if your laptop sleeps, so the original delivery is waiting when you reconnect.
No signup. Disposable URL lasts 24 hours.
push
X-Hub-Signature-256: preserved
Forward when ready
npx relayfox forward <id> --to http://localhost:3000
- 1Create a free RelayFox URL above (no signup needed).
- 2Paste it as your webhook endpoint: Repository → Settings → Webhooks → Add webhook (or Organization settings).
- 3Trigger an event (e.g. push) and watch it arrive live in RelayFox.
- 4Run the CLI to forward captured events to your local server:
npx relayfox forward <endpoint-id> --to http://localhost:3000
- 5Inspect headers, body and replay any event as many times as you need.
RelayFox preserves the X-Hub-Signature-256 header when forwarding, along with the captured body. Verify against the original raw body. If GitHub includes the public destination URL in its signature, configure your verifier with the RelayFox capture URL rather than the localhost forwarding URL.
