Twittbot is the next generation of my old Twitter bot, twittbot-nd.
Installation is just as easy as installing the Rubygem:
$ gem install twittbot
Create a new bot:
$ twittbot new bot-name
$ cd bot-name
Authorize with Twitter:
$ twittbot auth
Add yourself as a botadmin:
$ twittbot add-admin nilsding
Add a template, such as for a simple reply bot:
$ twittbot generate random-reply
random-reply is a template that accepts a configuration. You can configure
it by editing ./etc/random_reply.yml with a text editor of your choice.
And, if you want to, you can also change its behaviour by editing
./lib/random_reply.rb.
To list available templates, try this:
$ twittbot list-templates
Finally, run the bot:
$ twittbot start
