In this example, the configuration yaml file for Bashbot is parsed via yq to display the help and description values for each command
This command is triggered by sending !bashbot help in a slack channel where Bashbot is also a member. There is no external script for this command, takes no arugments/parameters, and expects yq to already be installed, and the environment variable BASHBOT_CONFIG_FILEPATH to be pointing at the running configuration, on the host machine.
