They can see how a GitHub app is performing.Ĭhatbot allows for Hubot to become part of the conversation in Campfire. They can check the status of the branch’s last build. Log into Campfire and a team member can see the new roll outs to the infrastructure. A GitHub DevOps team may have members in Hawaii or Portland all working on the same project. Be sure to personalize your Hubot, too your company’s robot should be a place full of inside jokes, custom integrations, and general merriment.Ĭhatbot is of particular use considering the way people work.
We maintain a repository of community Hubot scripts that you can add to your own robot. The real fun happens when you add your own scripts. We ship Hubot with a small group of core scripts: things like posting images, translating languages, and integrating with Google Maps. At GitHub the team uses Hubot to connect its various tools that the team has written over JSON APIs. It is a standardized way to share scripts between everyone’s robots. Hubot is open source, written in CoffeeScript on Node.js. Hubot is a bot that sits in the middle, showing the team what has happened instead of telling them. Campfire is the defacto communications tool for the ops team.
Then Redmonk Analyst Donnie Berkholz pinged me about Chatbot, a GitHub chat project ruled by Hubot, which the GitHub ops team developed. IRC makes sense for us to communicate effectively, daily.īut IRC is not all that it used to be, morphing into services such as Campfire. We have ~600 employees and hundreds more community people. Geeks from Chartio, Basho, Canonical, Citrix and active members in OpenStack and Cloudstack all said they use IRC. Canonical’s Alan Pope: I asked on Twitter and Facebook if people use it and, sure enough, the open-source and developer crowd shot right back that it is still their chat world of choice. IRC Is Not Deadīut is it dead as Royal Pingdom declared last week? I hear about IRC all the time in the geek world. This is due in large part to the advent of the Web, social media, and tools that can do a lot more than plain text can do. And IRC channels? In 2003 there were 500,000 now there is half that number. Internet Relay Chat (IRC) has lost 60 percent of its users, going from 1 million in 2003 to about 400,000 today.
