🤖 WhimsiBot, the Discord Bot

A silly Discord bot that provides fun commands, especially made to help pass time while in quarantine due to COVID-19. Necessity is the mother of all invention, as they say.

This is my first time

• making a Discord Bot, using API calls,
• working with secret tokens and securing them using config variables,
• using an API Wrapper,
• deploying a project to Heroku,
• connecting Heroku to GitHub,
• and taking steps away from GitHub GUI/IDE GUIs for git into the world of command line!

Hope you enjoy.
