## Getting Started

First, create a twitter app [here](https://apps.twitter.com/).

In development, the app uses [dotenv](https://github.com/motdotla/dotenv) to source environment variables to authenticate your twitter app. 

.env file:

```

CONSUMER_KEY=your_consumer_key

CONSUMER_SECRET=your_consumer_secret

ACCESS_TOKEN=your_access_token

ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET=your_access_token_secret

```

Install dependencies and run:

```sh

$ npm install

$ npm start

```

## Debug

The app uses [octokit](https://github.com/octokit/rest.js) as a client to Github's api, which provides an optional debug parameter:

```sh

$ DEBUG=octokit:rest* npm start

```
