CodeUpdate discord bot

Bots that upload code from file when it changes to discord server

Setup

Dependencies: Python, discordpy library

You will have to create the bot yourself on discord, get the token and copy paste in the code and run it using python

make sure to give the bot the neccesary permissions

Basic Usage

type in $watch {{filepath}} in any channel and it would send the code whenever it's changed in that channel

Note: you can use "" to escape spaces in filepath

put .watchfiles in the same folder as the bot, and put in the relevant commands as shown in features heading

Features

1. Use $watch {{filepath}} command to watch files
2. Use $hack {{filepath}} command for funzies which works like $watch, but instead sends a hacker gif "with got" it message when commanded
3. Use $forum-watch {{forum-channel-id}} {{filepath}} command to watch files in forum-channel, a new forum-thread will be created for each file, and when code is updated, it's initial message is updated with the code, and the code updates is sent as a new message
4. Add .watchfiles in the same directory as bot.py to specify commands (one command on one line) that will run on bot startup, watch file syntax is watch {{id-of-channel-to-send-in}} {{filepath}}, and for forum-watch forum-watch {{id-of-forum-to-send-in}} {{filepath}}
5. Bot also watches .watchfiles for updates
6. Bot logs in a channel which can be provided using LOGGING_CHANNEL_ID in .env
