This is a pretty basic boilerplate for discord.py bot. It features two example cogs as well.

The bot token is to be placed in a .env file in this format:

BOT_TOKEN=<PLACE_TOKEN_HERE>

Or just move/copy .env.example to .env making the necessary changes.

Also check the branch for_virtual_env for running the bot in virtual environment.

This template was heavily inspired by the neat and tidy code for TryHackMe's discord bot.
