DCHAT

🖥️ DCHAT — Discord Chatting Hub for Admin Terminal

A lightweight terminal-based Discord client for power users and script junkies. Pipe-friendly, emoji-ready, no bloat.

⚠️ Requirements

• Linux only — won't work on Windows.

• Basic terminal knowledge — editing files, running scripts.

• A Discord bot token.

• A Discord server where you have permission to add bots.

• The channel ID of your target server.

The bot must have read/write access (admin permission recommended). This CLI only works with one channel at a time.

🔧 Setup

1. Create config folder:

   mkdir -p ~/.config/dchat 

2. Add your bot token: Save it to ~/.config/dchat/token.txt Example:

   MTAxMjM0NTY3ODkw.YOUR.TOKEN-HERE 

3. Add your Discord channel ID: Save to ~/.config/dchat/room_id.txt Example:

   123456789012345678 

4. Set optional aliases: Save to ~/.config/dchat/aliases.txt Format: username=alias Example:

   alice=🎯 
   bob=💬 
   bot=🤖 

🛠️ What It Can Do

• Send messages from the terminal

• Read messages from a channel

• Upload files (images, docs)

• View recent images

• Pipe input directly into chat

• Show new message notifications

🧪 Example Usage

dchat -m "hello world"      # send message   
dchat -p 10                 # show last 10 messages   
dchat -f pic.png            # send a file   
echo "auto message" | dchat # pipe input   

💡 Pro Tip

Use it in scripts, cron jobs, or SSH perfect for minimal setups or automated status reports.
