Hubot

This is GitHub's Campfire bot, Hubot. He's pretty cool.

Playing with Hubot

Use npm to install dependencies:

% npm install

Now start hubot:

% bin/hubot

You'll see some startup output about where your scripts come from.

Loading deploy-local scripts at /Users/me/nubot/scripts
Loading hubot core scripts for relative scripts at /Users/me/nubot/src/hubot/scripts
Hubot: the Shell.
{ id: '1', name: 'Shell' }
Loading hubot-scripts from /Users/me/nubot/hubot-scripts.json
Successfully connected to Redis

Then you can interact with Hubot by typing hubot help.

hubot help

animate me <query>  - The same thing as `image me`, except adds a few
convert me <expression> to <units> - Convert expression to given units.
help - Displays all of the help commands that Hubot knows about.
...

Take a look at the scripts in the ./scripts folder for examples. Delete any scripts you think are silly. Add whatever functionality you want hubot to have.

hubot-scripts

There will inevitably be functionality that everyone will want. Instead of adding it to hubot itself, you can submit pull requests to hubot-scripts. To enable scripts from the hubot-scripts package, add the script name to the hubot-scripts.json file in this repo.
