GitBot is a Ruby IRC bot that provides a builtin GitHub webhook server.

You can install GitBot from RubyGems by typing:

gem install gitbot

Note that GitBot uses the Cinch IRC framework, which requires Ruby 1.9.1 or newer.

• First you must make a config.yml file so that GitBot knows where it should connect to. You can make a copy of the config.yml.example file and use that as a basis.

• After that just run gitbot in the directory where the config file is located. This will start the bot and its built-in webhook server. Alternatively, you can specify a different location for the config file with gitbot [config_file].

• You can now add a webhook to a GitHub project. Use the following url: http://yourserver.com:5651/github. You can specify a different port in the config file if you want.

• Now do some commits and see the commit messages appearing on the IRC channel.
