  Before installing dependencies it is highly recommended to work in virtual environment. If you want to create virtual environment .venv, use following command:

   python -m venv .venv

Usage

• Command python main.py

  This command initiates the bot using file logging. The bot's activities, errors, and relevant information will be logged into a file named discord.log. File logging has advantages for long-term record-keeping, troubleshooting, and maintaining a history of the bot's performance. Keep in mind that file logging may accumulate data over time, so regular maintenance might be needed to manage log files.

• Command python main.py --test

  This command starts the bot in testing mode, utilizing standard console logging. When initiated with the --test flag, the bot will log information directly to the console instead of a file. Console logging is useful during testing and development phases, providing immediate feedback and visibility into the bot's activities.
