create-discordts

Scaffold a new Discord bot from DiscordTS-Base with one command.

bunx create-discordts

or, equivalently:

bun create discordts

The CLI walks you through everything interactively:

? What is the name of the directory you want to create this project in? » my-bot
? What is your Discord bot token? (leave empty to fill in .env later) » ***
? What is your application client id? (leave empty to fill in .env later) » 1234567890
? Bot owner user ids, comma separated (optional, powers the owner_only guard) »
? Initialize a git repository? » (Y/n)
? Install dependencies with bun? » (Y/n)

It downloads the ready-to-run deployment branch (kept in sync with main by CI, with tests, tooling config, and repo-only files already removed), renames the package after your directory, writes your .env, and optionally initializes git and installs dependencies.

Usage

bunx create-discordts [directory] [-y | --yes]

• directory - skip the first prompt and scaffold into this folder.
• -y, --yes - non-interactive mode: accept every default (empty credentials, git init, install).

Requirements

• Bun 1.1 or newer (the template runs on Bun).
• tar on your PATH (bundled with Windows 10+, macOS, and Linux).

After scaffolding

cd my-bot
bun run deploy
bun run dev

Fill in TOKEN and CLIENT_ID in .env if you skipped them during setup.
