> [!IMPORTANT]
> **Dual Licensing**

> Alot of the inspiration for this code is from the [Python Discord Bot Template](https://github.com/kkrypt0nn/Python-Discord-Bot-Template) by [kkrypt0nn](https://github.com/kkrypt0nn). Please check out their repo for more information. I have made many changes to the code and havent explicitly stated in most files, that why I have thought it would be best to keep this note at the top of the README.md file.
<br>
> [!NOTE]
> This project is in a **feature-freeze mode**, please read more about it [here](https://github.com/kkrypt0nn/Python-Discord-Bot-Template/issues/112). It can be summed up in a few bullet points:
> **New Project**
>
> * The project **will** receive bug fixes
> * The project **will** be updated to make sure it works with the **latest** discord.py version
> * The project **will not** receive any new features, **unless one of the following applies**:
> * A new feature is added to Discord and it would be beneficial to have it in the template
> * A feature got a breaking change, this fits with the same point that the project will **always** support the latest discord.py version
> This project is still in the making!!! I would appreciate if you gave this repo a star, that would mean a lot to me!
This repository is a template that everyone can use for the start of their Discord bot.
When I first started creating my Discord bot it took me a while to get everything setup and working with cogs and more.
I would've been happy if there were any template existing. However, there wasn't any existing template. That's why I
decided to create my own template to let **you** guys create your Discord bot easily.
Please note that this template is not supposed to be the best template, but a good template to start learning how
discord.py works and to make your own bot easily.
If you plan to use this template to make your own template or bot, you **have to**:
- Keep the credits, and a link to this repository in all the files that contains my code
- Keep the same license for unchanged code
See [the license file](https://github.com/kkrypt0nn/Python-Discord-Bot-Template/blob/master/LICENSE.md) for more
information, I reserve the right to take down any repository that does not meet these requirements.
## Support
Before requesting support, you should know that this template requires you to have at least a **basic knowledge** of
Python and the library is made for **advanced users**. Do not use this template if you don't know the
basics or some advanced topics such as OOP or async. [Here's](https://pythondiscord.com/pages/resources) a link for resources to learn python.
If you need some help for something, do not hesitate to create an issue over [here](https://github.com/kkrypt0nn/Python-Discord-Bot-Template/issues), but don't forget the read the [frequently asked questions](https://github.com/kkrypt0nn/Python-Discord-Bot-Template/wiki/Frequently-Asked-Questions) before.
All the updates of the template are available [here](UPDATES.md).
## Disclaimer
Slash commands can take some time to get registered globally, so if you want to test a command you should use
the `@app_commands.guilds()` decorator so that it gets registered instantly. Example:
```py
@commands.hybrid_command(
name="command",
description="Command description",
)
@app_commands.guilds(discord.Object(id=GUILD_ID)) # Place your guild ID here
```
When using the template you confirm that you have read the [license](LICENSE.md) and comprehend that I can take down
your repository if you do not meet these requirements.
## How to download it
This repository is now a template, on the top left you can simply click on "**Use this template**" to create a GitHub
repository based on this template.
Alternatively you can do the following:
- Clone/Download the repository
- To clone it and get the updates you can definitely use the command
`git clone`
- Create a Discord bot [here](https://discord.com/developers/applications)
- Get your bot token
- Invite your bot on servers using the following invite:
https://discord.com/oauth2/authorize?&client_id=YOUR_APPLICATION_ID_HERE&scope=bot+applications.commands&permissions=PERMISSIONS (
Replace `YOUR_APPLICATION_ID_HERE` with the application ID and replace `PERMISSIONS` with the required permissions
your bot needs that it can be get at the bottom of a this
page https://discord.com/developers/applications/YOUR_APPLICATION_ID_HERE/bot)
## How to set up
To set up the token you will have to make use of the [`.env.example`](.env.example) file; you should rename it to `.env` and replace the `YOUR_BOT...` content with your actual values that match for your bot.
Alternatively you can simply create a system environment variable with the same names and their respective value.
## How to start
### The _"usual"_ way
To start the bot you simply need to launch, either your terminal (Linux, Mac & Windows), or your Command Prompt (
Windows)
.
Before running the bot you will need to install all the requirements with this command:
```
python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
```
After that you can start it with
```
python bot.py
```
> **Note**: You may need to replace `python` with `py`, `python3`, `python3.11`, etc. depending on what Python versions you have installed on the machine.
### Docker
Support to start the bot in a Docker container has been added. After having [Docker](https://docker.com) installed on your machine, you can simply execute:
```
docker compose up -d --build
```
> **Note**: `-d` will make the container run in detached mode, so in the background.
