DiscordGo YouTube Link Cleaner

This bot cleans tracking parameters from YouTube links. More specifically, it removes the si=* param, while preserving any remaining params.

This assumes you already have a working Go environment setup and that DiscordGo is correctly installed on your system.

From within the yt-cleaner folder, compile the application.

go build

This project uses bot tokens for authentication only. While user/password is supported by DiscordGo, it is not recommended for bots.

./yt-cleaner --help
Usage of ./yt-cleaner:
  -t string
        Bot Token

The below example shows how to start the bot

./yt-cleaner -t YOUR_BOT_TOKEN
Bot is now running.  Press CTRL-C to exit.
