Greg Price eb55a3a1ba template context: Give better names to the URLs for the API.
The "subdomain" label is redundant, to the extent it's even
accurate -- this is really just the URL we want to display,
which may or may not involve a subdomain.  Similarly "external".

The former `external_api_path_subdomain` was never a path -- it's a
host, followed by a path, which together form a scheme-relative URL.
I'm not quite convinced that value is actually the right thing in
2 of the 3 places we use it, but fixing that can start by giving an
accurate name to the thing we have.

This webhook is based on the deprecated GitHub Services.

{!create-stream.md!}

The integration will use the default stream commits if no stream is supplied in the hook; you still need to create the stream even if you are using this default.

Next, go to your repository page and click Settings:

From there, select Webhooks & Services:

To find the Zulip hook, you have to click on Configure services.

Select Zulip from the list of service hooks. Fill in the API key and email address for your bot that you created earlier and check the "active" checkbox. Specify {{ api_url }}/v1/external/github as the Alternative endpoint. You can optionally supply the Zulip stream (the default is commits) and restrict Zulip notifications to a specified set of branches.

Further configuration is possible. By default, commits traffic (pushes, commit comments), GitHub issues traffic, and pull requests are enabled. You can exclude certain types of traffic via the checkboxes. If you want commit traffic, issue traffic, and pull requests to go to different places, you can use the Commit Stream and Issue Stream overrides; otherwise, it is safe to leave these fields blank and just have it default to the Stream setting.

Click the Update settings button to complete the configuration:
