-# Overview
-
-This is the documentation for how to set up and run the GitHub comment bot. (`git_hub_comment.py`)
-
-This directory contains library code for running Zulip
-bots that react to messages sent by users.
-
-This bot will allow you to comment on a GitHub issue.
-You should preface messages with `@comment` or `@gcomment`.
-You will need to have a GitHub account, and a GitHub OAuth token.
-
-## Setup
-Before running this bot, make sure to get a GitHub OAuth token.
-You can look at this tutorial if you need help:
-<https://help.github.com/articles/creating-an-access-token-for-command-line-use/>
-The token will need to be authorized for the following scopes: `gist, public_repo, user`.
-Store it in the `~/github-auth.conf` file, along with your username, in the format:
-github_repo = <repo_name>  (The name of the repo to post to)
-github_repo_owner = <repo_owner>  (The owner of the repo to post to)
-github_username = <username>  (The username of the GitHub bot)
-github_token = <oauth_token>   (The personal access token for the GitHub bot)
-`<repository_owner>/<repository>/<issue_number>/<your_comment`.
-
-## Running the bot
-
-Here is an example of running the `git_hub_comment` bot from
-inside a Zulip repo:
-
-    `cd ~/zulip/api`
-    `zulip-run-bot git_hub_comment --config-file ~/.zuliprc-prod`
-
-Once the bot code starts running, you will see a
-message explaining how to use the bot, as well as
-some log messages.  You can use the `--quiet` option
-to suppress some of the informational messages.
-
-The bot code will run continuously until you kill them with
-control-C (or otherwise).
-
-### Configuration
-
-For this document we assume you have some prior experience
-with using the Zulip API, but here is a quick review of
-what a `.zuliprc` files looks like.  You can connect to the
-API as your own human user, or you can go into the Zulip settings
-page to create a user-owned bot.
-
-    [api]
-    email=someuser@example.com
-    key=<your api key>
-    site=https://zulip.somewhere.com
