The **github‑build** package provides a tiny Node.js wrapper for creating GitHub status checks (e.g., pending, success, failure, error) for a specific commit via the GitHub API. It’s aimed at developers who want to integrate their own CI/CD pipelines with GitHub without setting up a full‑featured CI service—simply instantiate a `Build` with repo, SHA, token, and metadata, then call `start()`, `pass()`, `fail()`, or `error()` as the build progresses.
