GitHub plans on shutting down GitHub Services so we can shift focus to other areas of the API, such as strengthening GitHub Apps and GraphQL, and improving webhooks. The intention of GitHub Services was to allow third-party developers to submit code for integrating with their services, but this functionality has been superseded by GitHub Apps and webhooks. GitHub Services has not supported new features since April 25, 2016, and we plan to officially deprecate it on October 1st, 2018.
Move to webhooks using GitHub or OAuth appsAs part of the deprecation process, we need integrators on our platform to move from HTTP-based services over to plain webhooks. Webhooks are much easier for both users and GitHub staff to debug on the web because of improved logging.
We have been coordinating with our largest integrators to assist them in seamlessly transitioning from GitHub Services to GitHub Apps and webhooks. In order to move your integration over to plain webhooks, you can leverage either GitHub or OAuth apps. Both "Replacing GitHub Services" and "Differences between GitHub Apps and OAuth Apps" provide information regarding the differences between the two frameworks.
