Description

Another idea: a "reload" feature. Entering the command reload into the bot, the bot re-reads the commands.yaml file and thereby adds or drops new commands without the need to restart the bot process. Live-update of commands so-to-speak.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Inspect the command handling system and add a reload command that re reads commands.yaml.
