=============
### Improved Hubot adapter for Gitter
* * *
There was already one adapter [hubot-gitter](https://github.com/kcjpop/hubot-gitter) but after trying
to fix many missing things from it, I decided to write one from scratch.
[](https://gitter.im/huafu/hubot-gitter2)
At the time this is written, here is the advantages of this one:
- namespaced environment variables for the configuration
- handling `robot.send room: 'room id or uri', 'my message'`
- gathering information from users in all rooms correctly
- not handling messages that the bot itself is sending
## Installation
- install **Hubot** and **CoffeeScript**: `npm install -g hubot coffee-script`
- create your bot and install its dependencies:
```
npm install -g yo generator-hubot
mkdir -p my-bot
yo hubot
```
- save **hubot-gitter2** as dependency: `npm install --save hubot-gitter2`
- start the bot using the right adapter: `HUBOT_GITTER2_TOKEN= ./bin/hubot -a gitter2 --name `
- `HUBOT_GITTER2_TOKEN`: get your personal token [there](http://developer.gitter.im) after sign-in
- the bot will automatically listen on the rooms it has joined.
## Troubleshooting
- If your bot is not responding to mentions, make sure hubot was started with the same `--name` parameter as its GitHub username.
