# FAQ

## How do I add the bot to my discord server?

## Why do you use Futurama quotes for Github commit messages?

We had a pretty patchy commit message system, so rather than try and actually write what we've changed, we just standardised on a simple, automated approach to commit messages that is consistent.

It doesn't serve any real purpose other than removing the cognitive overhead of trying to figure out what we changed.

If I ever need to know where that bug fix is it's in the "[Surrender your mysteries to Zoidberg!](https://github.com/nullabork/talkbot/commit/f6cc5f89231b74373113e22db2ae0da28eb7eddd)" commit.

## Can I setup bot on my own linux server?

Yes! The code is freely available on our [github site here](https://github.com/nullabork/talkbot). Note this is an advanced topic that will require you to understand how to perform linux system administration.

The install instructions are loosely included on the README on the front of the github site.
