Almost done!

A repository has been created for you at hubot-calculator. A team has also been created that has admin rights to this repo and you have been added to it so you can manage it as you see fit.

To complete the transition, follow these steps:

Clone the new repository

git clone https://github.com/hubot-scripts/hubot-calculator

OR

git remote set-url origin https://github.com/hubot-scripts/hubot-calculator

Update the package.json

  "repository": {
    "type": "git",
    "url": "https://github.com/hubot-scripts/hubot-calculator"
  },

  "bugs": {
    "url": "https://github.com/hubot-scripts/hubot-calculator/issues"
  },

Publish

npm version patch
npm publish
git push origin master

Profit!

Once this is done, feel free to delete your old repository. You're done!

🤘 rock on...
