Contributing

All you need to do is go to https://www.discord.com/developers and create a new application. This will give you the token and client ID, which you can then use to connect the bot to a test server. If you're adding something new, just create a pull request.

The easiest way to test the bot is to just execute npm run start:dev. It will then restart itself any time there are code changes.
