Create a discord bot

2. Create a new application
3. Give it a name, image, description and all the works
4. In the 'Bot' page of the Application, click on 'Add Bot'
5. Give a name to you bot
6. Copy the token and put it in the config file

Make sure to never make your secret tokens public

Invite the bot to your server

To generate the Bot invitation link:

1. Navigate to Oath2 page of your Application
2. Scroll down and select 'bot' in the 'SCOPES' section
3. Add the required permissions needed for your bot. By default, none are selected. This bot needs:

• View Channels
• Send Messages

4. Copy the updated link at the bottom of the 'SCOPES' section
5. Make sure to give the link to a trusted parties only since it'll add the bot to whatever servers they choose to

GitHub config

You can choose not to supply a GitHub token, in which case it'll use unauthorized API calls. These are subject to a harsher rate-limit, but is usually sufficient for a low rate-of-use.

For the authorized access, create a Personal Access Token and add it to the config file.
