What is the main file?

📁 General main files

The main file is the fundamental code of your bot, making your bot go online and perform other actions automatically. Such as: index.js, bot.js and index.py, depending on what name you put in.

📁 Exceptions (defaults)

Some bot making software, such as Discord Bot Maker and Discord Bot Controls, have a default main file already set up, which is: bot.js.
