Twitch Bot

This Twitch bot is built using Go and requires two .env files to run: one for the application and one for the user.

Building the Program

To build the program, use the following command:

go build -o twitchbot main.go

Environment Files

The bot requires two .env files:

1. Application .env file: Contains configuration settings for the bot.
2. User .env file: Stores user-specific settings.

Generate Environment Files

You can generate these required files with the following commands:

• For the application .env file:

  twitchbot --init <application/file/path>
  

• For the user .env file:

  twitchbot --init-user <user/file/path>
  

Both files are necessary for the bot to run properly.

Running the Bot

The bot requires both the application and user .env files to be set. You can specify the user environment file in the application .env file or provide it directly during runtime.

Default Run

By default, the bot will look for the .env file in the current directory. It will also check the DEFAULT_USER variable within the application .env file to load the user-specific file.

To run the bot:

twitchbot

Custom Environment File Path

You can specify a custom environment file for the bot using the --env flag:

twitchbot --env <env/path>

In this case, the bot will look for the user .env file using the DEFAULT_USER variable in the specified environment file.

Custom User File Path

To specify a custom user environment file, use the --user flag:

twitchbot --user <user/env/path>

Full Custom Run

To run the bot with both custom environment and user files, use both --env and --user flags:

twitchbot --env <env/path> --user <user/env/path>

Make sure both the application and user .env files are configured correctly before running the bot.
