Explanations

• client: Represents for bot settings
  • shard_count: Number of sharded instances of your bot. Put any number you want.
  • token: Self-explanatory
  • private_guilds: An array of your private guild IDs (for faster command loading)
  • slash_commands_for_global: true if you want your commands to be public, false otherwise

  ⚠️ Warning

  • Set a value for both fields above mostly results in "command duplication" (commands appearing twice) situation
    • Sometimes the duplication happens randomly
