*Governor is archived* due to the fact that it’s locked to Rails v3.0, and as such can’t patch any security holes or support modern applications.

Governor[http://carpeliam.github.com/governor/] (named after Rod Blagojevich) is the pluggable blogging platform for Rails, built for people who want to build their blog into their website, not build their website into their blog.

governor_twitter is a plugin for Governor, allowing you to automatically post to twitter whenever you post or update an article.

Dependencies¶ ↑

Governor
twitter gem
shortie gem, for URL shortening
GovernorBackground
And because of the GovernorBackground dependency, either Delayed_Job or Resque. If you use Resque, it’s highly recommended that you use resque-status as well.

Setting up¶ ↑

In your Gemfile, add the following:

gem 'twitter', '>= 1.1'
gem 'shortie'
gem 'governor'
gem 'governor_background'
# gem 'delayed_job'                                # if you're using delayed_job
# gem 'resque', :require => 'resque/server'        # if you're using resque
# gem 'resque-status', :require => 'resque/status' # recommended if you're using resque
gem 'governor_twitter'

Then, make sure you follow instructions for configuring Twitter, namely adding an initializer with your keys/secrets.

Check out the latest master to make sure the feature hasn’t been implemented or the bug hasn’t been fixed yet
Check out the issue tracker to make sure someone already hasn’t requested it and/or contributed it
Fork the project
Start a feature/bugfix branch
Commit and push until you are happy with your contribution
Make sure to add tests for it. This is important so I don’t break it in a future version unintentionally.
Please try not to mess with the Rakefile, version, or history. If you want to have your own version, or is otherwise necessary, that is fine, but please isolate to its own commit so I can cherry-pick around it.
