Using GitPull

GitPull allows you to sync changes with GitHub on the server!

What is GitPull?

GitPull is a command that allows you to apply changes to the bot via GitHub. It fetches the current changes from GitHub, overwrites its current working directory with the new changes, and restarts. This is a helpful tool for developers if they pushed changes but can't restart the bot due to a lack of access to the VPS.

How do I use it?

1. Push all of your changes to GitHub

2. Run +gitpull with the right restart_mode.

3. Wait for the changes to apply.

4. Done!

GitPull

• Usage: +gitpull <restart_mode -a or -c>

  • -a -> Kills the old bot process and spawns a new one. This is useful for changes that were made outside of the cogs folder.

  • -c -> Reloads every cog instead of using a new process.

• Permission Level Required: Permit Level 3+

• Initiates the GitPull program.
