Discord-Message-Git-Tracker

Tracks changes in a discord message as commits.

Discord Git Bot

This bot monitors message edits in Discord and commits the changes to a git repository.

Setup

1. Create a Discord bot and get your bot token:

   • Go to the Discord Developer Portal
   • Create a new application
   • Go to the "Bot" section and create a bot
   • Copy the bot token

2. Install dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

3. Set up environment variables:

   export DISCORD_TOKEN='your_bot_token'
   export REPO_PATH='path_to_your_git_repository'
   

4. Run the bot:

   python bot.py
   

Commands

• !track <message_id> - Start tracking changes to a specific message
• !untrack <message_id> - Stop tracking changes to a specific message
• !list-tracked - Show all message IDs currently being tracked

How it Works

• When a tracked message is edited, the bot creates a new branch named msg_edit_TIMESTAMP
• It updates a dedicated file for that message (message_<ID>.txt) with the current content
• The changes are committed to the new branch with a timestamp
• Previous versions of the message can be viewed through the git history
• The bot switches back to the original branch after committing

Features

• Tracks specific messages by their ID
• Creates a new branch for each edit to tracked messages
• Stores both original and edited message content
• Records message metadata (ID, channel, author)
• Provides feedback in Discord when changes are committed
• Simple commands to manage tracked messages
