✨ Inviting the Bot to Your Server

To invite the bot to your Discord server, follow these steps:

Note

Ensure you select all the intents for the bot to work.

1. Go to your Discord application's OAuth2 section in the Discord Developer Portal.

2. Generate an invite link using the bot's Client ID with the required scopes and permissions. Example link:

   https://discord.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=YOUR_CLIENT_ID&permissions=8&integration_type=0&scope=applications.commands+bot
   

3. Replace YOUR_CLIENT_ID with the CLIENT_ID from your .env file.

4. Open the link in a browser and add the bot to your desired server.

🛠️ Customizing the Bot

To start customizing, edit the files in the src directory. Key files include:

• main.go – Main entry point for the bot.
• src/commands/categories – Directory containing bot commands (add new commands here).
• src/events/categories – Directory containing bot events (add new events here).
• src/types – Directory containing custom types and interfaces.
• src/config – Directory containing configuration files and environment variables.

Changes will take effect after rebuilding the project using:

go build -o bot main.go
./bot

OR you can use the following command to run the bot:

go run main.go
