Discord bot hosting
I am developing a Discord bot with C# and I have a question about bot hosting
how can I host the bot in such a way that whenever I change the codes on my system, the codes are automatically changed in vps and continue?

Not trivial, but you could set up a build system that would monitor your source repository and automatically initiate a build when a push to master is made
when the build finishes, you can have it then run a deployment job that would update your current running bot (by killing it and running the new one instead)
Or you can have a git repo on your vps, with a hook which does something like copy the files somewhere else and restart your bot on push. See https://gitolite.com/deploy.html
(Yes you could build it to an exe on github CI and then transfer the compiled binary to your VPS... Or you could just be lazy and
dotnet run from a checkout of the source code, which is what I'd do)
