Usage

First of all, you need to create a Discord bot.

Go to the Discord Developer Portal

• Click 'New Application', you can give it any name you want.
• Click 'Bot' at the left 'Settings' section.
• Reset the bot's token and copy it.
• Save the token to the Distore configuration with the following command

distore config token <TOKEN> --global

• Go back to the Developer Portal, and click 'OAuth2'
• Check the 'Bot' box in the 'OAuth2 URL Generator'
• Check 'Send Messages' and 'Attach Files' in 'Bot Permissions'
• Copy the generated link and paste it to your browser
• Add the bot to a server you own. You can create a new one if you prefer
• Copy the ID of the channel you want your files to be stored in (You need to have 'Developer Mode' enabled. To enable it, go to your Discord setting, go to 'Advanced', and enable 'Developer Mode')
• Save the channel ID to the Distore configuration

distore config channel <CHANNEL_ID> --global

Now, you're ready to use Distore.
