Configuration 🛠️

Configuring tgcf is easy. You just need two files in your present directory (from which tgcf is invoked).

• .env : To define your environment variables easily.

• tgcf.config.yml : An yaml file to configure how tgcf behaves.

In your terminal, just run tgcf live or tgcf past to start tgcf. It will prompt you to enter your phone no. or bot token, when you run it for the first time.

For more details run tgcf --help or read docs.

Deploying to a cloud server is an easier alternative if you cannot install on your own machine. Cloud servers are very reliable and great for running tgcf in live mode for a long time.
