Why not use "bottr" for CLI about bottr

[ummahusla]

@vutran That's a good point. But the thing is that at the moment we have several repositories like Bottr, Botrr-CLI, Bottr-App and so on, and in order not to confuse people, I would personally leave it as it is.

@jcampbell05 What do you think?

So you mean to call the actual binary NPM creates bottrrather than the Repo or Package.

Historically this was called bottr-cli as it was supposed to let you test your bot via the cli. However it doesn't really do this now (only make a new project and start up your bot) but one could argue the name is still valid.

This tool was inspired very much the way react-native does things and I've noticed that they don't have cli for their binary (not the package though). I've looked at other tools like Heroku and they also don't do this so there is no real reason why we couldn't drop the cli

If we did so this:

The main hurdle we will have to overcome is an upgrade path for those on bottr-cli I think the best is to maybe offer a binary named bottr in the package.json (https://github.com/Bottr-js/Bottr-CLI/blob/master/package.json#L24) for Bottr-CLI so you can use either bottr or bottr-cli.

We are open to a PR if you would want to contribute this change @vutran
