So, i think Step 4 of "Set up greetbot" needs to be moved up to before Step 2 of "Grab your tokens for your .env file", since you don't get the tokens until the app is installed, but you can't install the app without a bot user. There's also a typo in Slash Commnands.
Still need to go through the events, as this branch is now out of date with development, and at the very least, package.json is different, so haven't run the install process yet.

One more: when setting up commands, need to make sure "Escape channels, users, and links sent to your app" is checked, otherwise our parser breaks |
localtunnel allows for local server to be exposed to the internet and be connected to Slack's API. Create a separate Node process for localtunnel to run in parallel with Express. Add an .env.example file.
