Github Observer

manybots-github is a Manybots Observer that allows you to import your Github commits into your local Manybots.

On Manybots, your commits will look like this: webcracy commit to webcracy/manybots-github - first commit (SHA)

Installation instructions

Setup the gem

You need the latest version of Manybots Local running on your system. Open your Terminal and cd into its' directory.

First, require the gem: edit your Gemfile, add the following, and run bundle install

gem 'manybots-github', :git => 'git://github.com/manybots/manybots-github.git'
gem 'octokit', '1.0.0', :git => 'git://github.com/webcracy/octokit.git'

Second, run the manybots-github install generator (mind the underscore):
