All issues or feature requests related to this repo are managed on discord, do not use use the github issues section for this purpose.

Code Quality

We expect contributors to write clean code. Because code is more often read than written.
For code quality consistence, we use a tool called black, and we expect contributors to run black on the code they are contributing, to make the code formatting more consistent.
To run black, simply run the cleancode.py file, this will black format all files.

We realise that testing new bot features you want to add can be a bit of a daunting task, so once you have made a few contributions to the bot, you will get a @Sorcerer 🝐 role on our discord server, and access to the bot token of a "test bot", which you can use to run a local version of the bot yourself, to test and debug things out.
You will also have access to the 🤖 Bot Dev channels, to discuss with other bot devs, test out your changes and raise issues or make feature requests.
Further contributions will help you get the @Wizard 🝑 role, with access to "admin" commands of the bot, and then finally, a @Senior Mage 🝒 role when you have made substantial improvements to the bot.
