		.setName('ping')
		.setDescription('Replies with Pong!'),
	async execute(interaction:ChatInputCommandInteraction) {
		await interaction.reply('Pong!');
	},
} as Command

add your command to the commands.ts file located in src/ example:

import ping from "./commands/ping";


export const Commands: Command[] = [ping]

the last step before actually running the bot, tell discord what commands we have

Updating discord (/) commands

yarn run deploy

if you want to make guild specific commands you have to edit the deploy-commands.ts file located in src/
