Setting things up

The first thing to do is to set-up the tokens folder: codebots uses json files to store the credentials information for the different platforms. It is important that you store this data in a safe place (!) and tell codebots where. By default, codebots will create a .token folder in the user’s directory, but you can override this with:

>>> codebots set-token-path "path-to-new-tokens-folder"
