it doesn't you're probably running ApplicationCommandManager#set([]) somewhere that's why the guide includes the deploy script, so you deploy commands manually

yea but how does that work when i sync commands i dont have to refresh my discord app whenever i re run the bot but when i manually add commands i have to refresh it, since the commands added during the previous instance of my app no longer work

well, that erases all your commands

if you then call set once again but with your commands, then that'll set them again which is kind of redundant

so by default if i create a command it doesnt get deleted? if i re run my bot

well #set is simply an api call, it's discord who manages whatever happens

yea so rn what im tryna do is manually make the api call myself and still retain the commands even if i re run the bot

just don't set an empty array or even better only deploy when it's actually needed eg when you change your command's data
