A work in progress.

Or build manually if that's your preference

Make sure you cofigure the bot. Default config file is conf/conf.yaml. There's an example in there with reasonable defaults. Also remember to include any plugin configuration. See the README in the plugins dir for more information.

cd target_dir
./bender
