The reason I want to do this is because I have ton of paid for client bots (18), and some of them use the same code. I am the type of person to always want to update the code to make it better. So, that means I am updating the code a lot. When I update it for one, I have to update it for all of them. Therefore, I'd like to use Github's API to clone specific files from my private repo during the on_ready event. How can I do this? I'm not familiar with Github's API.

not sure how this is related to pycord, but I think making a github bot/app is the way to go: https://docs.github.com/en/apps

Do you initialise a local repo for each bot? If yes then you can just do os.system('git pull origin')

No it’s only 1 repo
And I’d like it to clone specific files, not all

Ah hmm
subtle prairie
Yes I would have it
young raft
You could move those specific files into a separate repo
subtle prairie
Wait no
Since the files are on my hosting provider, and the GitHub files aren’t on there
I want to pull the files from GitHub’s api
Or clone specific files from a GitHub repo

That idk lol

Nvm I got myself confused
young raft
Or clone specific files from a GitHub repo
I would have put those sepcific files in a separate repo

Is this not possible?
subtle prairie
Is this not possible?
It is
But HOW do I clone specific files from that repo
Instead of every file
If possible
young raft
But HOW do I clone *specific* files from that repo
Is the list not same everytime?
YK what

Actually how can I get a GitHub file’s content?

Actually how can I get a GitHub file’s content?

Pretty sure that link is exactly about that

How would I do that in the on_ready event tho
That’s just an issue someone had
young raft
How would I do that in the on_ready event tho
You dont
Do it using a shell script
And at the end of it, start the python file
Or, make a python file that does the same using os.system at the beginning, and then runs the bot
Doing it on ready might be a bad idea
young raft
Doing it on ready might be a bad idea
If you import those files

I was wanting to have it compare versions with bot.version and version.txt
Actually probably not on ready
young raft
I was wanting to have it compare versions with `bot.version` and `version.txt`
Hmm how will you have bot.version tho?
What you could do is, store version.txt locally and on GitHub. It should only have smth like 1.3 and nothing else
Get the contents of version.txt on GitHub (using requests/aiohttp)
Compare it with the local file
If different, get and store contents of all the other files into the one locally available
Hmm you actually don't even need os.system
