Creating a basic Echo bot locally using Microsoft bot framework

We will use Azure Bot Service v3.

1. Setup version control

Create a new git repository. I did it on https://github.com/new. I chose various settings as shown in below image:

Clone the repository locally, create a new branch and push it to server. I did via following commands:

  git clone git@github.com:monish001/superbot.git

  cd superbot

  git checkout master

  git checkout -b dev

  git push --set-upstream origin dev

2. Create a basic echobot using yeoman. 

I named my bot 'superbot' and select Echobot when asked.

  npm install -g npm

  npm install -g yo generator-botbuilder

  cd ..

  yo botbuilder

  cd superbot

  npm start

Now open the bot file in Microsoft Bot Framework Emulator to test the echobot.

3. Push to back to github.

git push

You can find the resulting code at https://github.com/monish001/superbot/releases/tag/0.0.1.
