Cinch-Github

The Cinch Github Plugin. Give your cinch bot abilities to interact with Github! This is still in its early phases!

if you haven't already...

$ gem install cinch

then install this gem.

$ gem install cinch-github

This plugin manages interaction between Github issues via the Github API.

To setup the Issue plugin to work with your cinch bot, we'll need to provide some info like so:

Cinch::Plugins::Github::Issue.configure do |c|
  c.user    = 'achiu'                   # your github username
  c.token   = 'some_token'              # your github API token
  c.author  = 'padrino'                 # your repository author
  c.repo    = 'padrino-framework'       # your repository name
end

• !issue state [open|closed] [query] - returns issues that have state open or closed matching the query
• !issue find [query] - returns issues matching the query. defaults to state open
• !issue link [number] - returns issue link for issue number(must be digits)
• !issue comment [number] [comment] - comment on an issue
• !issue new [title] - Create a new issue
• !issue close [number] [optional comment] - Close an issue with an optional comment
• !issue reopen [number] [optional comment] - Reopen an issue with an optional comment
• !help github issue - returns commands for Github Issue

It's simple. follow the guide on cinch or do something like:

# mybot.rb
require 'cinch'
require 'cinch/plugins/github'

Cinch::Plugins::Github::Issue.configure do |c|
  c.user    = 'achiu'                   # your github username
  c.token   = 'some_token'              # your github API token
  c.author  = 'padrino'                 # your repository author
  c.repo    = 'padrino-framework'       # your repository name
end

bot = Cinch::Bot.new do
  configure do |c|
    c.server           = "irc.freenode.net"
    c.nick             = "cinch"
    c.channels         = ["#padrino"]
    c.plugins.plugins  = [Cinch::Plugins::Github::Issue]
  end

end

bot.start

Finally, run your bot.

ruby -rubygems mybot.rb

And there you go!
