Create new branch with empty folder structure
You can create a new empty branch like this:
$ git checkout --orphan NEWBRANCH
--orphan creates a new branch, but it starts without any commit. After running the above command you are on a new branch "NEWBRANCH", and the first commit you create from this state will start a new history without any ancestry.
The --orphan command keeps the index and the working tree files intact in order to make it convenient for creating a new history whose trees resemble the ones from the original branch.
Since you want to create a new empty branch that has nothing to do with the original branch, you can delete all files in the new working directory:

Microservice bots

Microservice Bots

What they are and why you should use them

Introduction

Recently more and more chatbots appear, the overall chatbot market grows and the platform for it grows as well. Today we are taking a close look at what benefits creating a microservice chatbot on Discord - (a communication platform mainly targeted at gamers) would provide.

The concepts and ideas explained in this whitepaper are geared towards bots with a bigger userbase where the limits of a usual bot style appear with a greater effect

Information about Discord itself

(If you are already proficient with the Discord API and the way a normal bot works, you may skip ahead to The Concept)
