Discord Bot Template

The Discord Bot Template provides a solid foundation for creating feature-rich Discord bots using Discord.js. It includes various managers for handling message commands, buttons, select menus, slash commands, context menus, and modal forms. The template offers customization options, colorful logging, and a simple code structure.
