Go deltabot-cli

This example is about creating a bot with the bot framework deltabot-cli-go, which gives a hook based interface and a cli interface to configure your bot.

This is a go framework for bots, see ../README.md for other approaches to write bot in go.

Usage

Per default the bot data and configuration is stored in your user directory (Library/Application Support/bot_name/, .config/bot_name/, on windows probably in %APPDATA% ).

You can change configuration location with --folder flag (--folder PATH or -f PATH).
