Answer 1

You need a public address for Github to point to when detected a push request. localhost is on your localmachine.

The way i solved it is to use a proxy agent Ngrok. Enter command >ngrok http 8080, it will generate http://{hexa-numbers}.ngrok.io copy the generated public address and put in your github repository webhook http://{hexa-numbers}.ngrok.io/github-webhook/.

At this point when you save it, it will send a post request to ngrok server, got redirected to localhost and you will see a green tick.
