How to see what all packs i converted with this script ?

cat packs

Background

For v3, v2 and binary you need just the link to stickerpack, NO NEED TO DOWNLOAD TGS FILES Just have links like "https://t.me/addstickers/HalloUtya" and that's enough !!!!

For bot to upload on your behalf, using your account credentials given above.

If you want telegram bot token get it using BotFather :")

Once Intial setup , from next time just sending link would be enough.

Usage of v3 script (for v2 change name)

./script_v3_beta.sh 

./script_v3_beta.sh <filename>

Where file has list of Telegram sticker links

Usage of Binary

cargo r --release <link> <link> <link>

Internal working of v1 and v2

Usage of v1 of script

You could use it to :

2. You don't need to have telegram account , although you need source of tgs files Dependencies of v1 of script
3. gifsicle
4. imagemagick

Prefer v2 since it does job automated.
