A twitter bot that wishes pull requests happy birthday if they're still open N years after they were created.

You should have Python 2 and pip installed on your system.

Install the dependencies with pip install requirements.txt

To set up on a local machine for development/testing:

1. Set up an app for your twitter developer account.

2. Set TWITTER_CONSUMER_KEY and TWITTER_CONSUMER_SECRET environment variables using the keys twitter gives you. E.g. run export TWITTER_CONSUMER_KEY=blablabla in your shell.

3. Grant the app access to your twitter account. There's a button for this in the twitter settings. To grant access to a different account you can hack birthdaybot.py to run the fetch_twitter_access_token function.

4. Set TWITTER_ACCESS_KEY and TWITTER_ACCESS_SECRET environment variables with the values from step 3.

5. Run python birthdaybot/birthdaybot.py

First create a heroku app and push the repo to heroku. It will complain about a missing Procfile but it's not needed.

The rest you can do either through the heroku web interface or the cli:

• set the four twitter environment variables described above
• add the heroku scheduler plugin to the app
• add a job to the scheduler plugin. It should run ./bin/birthdaybot.py

• Feel free to raise PRs and issues
• I will try and respond to things within a year
• Check the PRs the bot tweets about and see if you can get one resolved
