Simple cli tool to send stdin to any Telegram chat, through a bot. It’s a bit like tee, but for telegram.
Getting started
Set up
First, install the tool with
go install cj.rs/telegram-tee@latest
Then, you need to control a bot. Set the environment variable TLGCLI_TOKEN to
the token of the bot that will write stdin to a chat for you. You may want to create a new bot or use an existing one.
Use
Then, you need to get the chat ID of the conversation to which you want to send stdin. Just run
telegram-tee
and write with Telegram to your bot. It will reply with the current chatID.
You can then do
echo Hi | telegram-tee <chatID>
You can even send to several chatID at the same time.
TODO
- Make stdout usable like tee
