I think that clearing the memory should automatically back it up to a gist to prevent mishaps.

Other than that good commit, clean.

@benjamingr I'm not sure what would be the best way to implement that. Extract export into a separate function, or chain the command?

var exportResult = bot.commands['export'].exec();

bot.memory.clear();

return exportResult + ' Bot memory cleared. Please restart the bot.';

Might also be a good idea to clear before importing new data, since the import .save() doesn't clear/overwrite bot_ localStorage entries that don't exist in the new data.

Yeah, an import should probably clear old data On Sep 11, 2014 2:55 PM, "Bob" notifications@github.com wrote:
