There is a shell script called "automated_deploy.sh".
This script starts the bot and waits for an update in the master branch. If an update is available, the bot process will be killed, the update will be merged and the bot will be started again.
If no update is available, your bot just works as expected.

But before starting the "automated_deploy.sh", copy your bot token into the config.json -> bottoken

The build process is done via npm.
