Telegram reader / sender CLI

Terminal access to your own Telegram account. It authenticates as your user account over MTProto via Telethon, so it can read and send anything your account can — unlike a bot, which only sees chats it was explicitly added to.

How to invoke

Invoke it as tg — on $PATH via claudine/scripts/link_clis.py, which links this repo's bin/tg into ~/.local/bin, so it always runs the current checkout: a git pull, or even an uncommitted edit, takes effect immediately with nothing to reinstall.
