Folder Heirarchy

    └── utility.py

bot.py consists of all the core methods to run the bot. It is just like the main file.
cogs folder currently consists of events.py and commands.py. All events and commands must be coded in their respective files.
Once you clone from Github, you need to first make the config file on your own. You have to get the token from discord developer portal and replace in the token variable.
Rename config.py.example as config.py.example
cf.py consists of all the API related tasks/scraping to be done from CodeForces
he.py needs to be made similarly so that all related tasks can be done from HackerEarth.

A small advice. While making changes, try working on a new branch.

Do check out DiscordPy documentation for more details.

Feat: Set Reminders on the day of the contest

Once -cfnext command is exectued, the client must get an option to set reminders.

Features

A command -remind must be present with the parameter which means contest id.
An alternative would be using emoji reactions.
Emoji reactions can be used to set the time as well as to choose the contest

Change: -cfnext doesn't return the latest contests

-cfnext command doesn't return the latest commands.
Rather it returns by reversing the list given by the API and then , which is incorrect in implementation.

Solution:
Use relativeTimeSeconds to sort the contests, and then send the first few contests accordingly.
