# 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](https://discord.com/developers/applications)
- Create a new application
- Go to the "Bot" section and create a bot
- Copy the bot token
2. Install dependencies:
```bash
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
3. Set up environment variables:
```bash
export DISCORD_TOKEN='your_bot_token'
export REPO_PATH='path_to_your_git_repository'
```
4. Run the bot:
```bash
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
