Route by chat

Bind a Telegram chat to a project so messages in that chat automatically route to the right repo.

Capture a chat id and save it to a project

Run:

untether chat-id --project happy-gadgets

Then send any message in the target chat. Untether captures the chat_id and updates your config:

=== “untether config”

```sh
untether config set projects.happy-gadgets.path "~/dev/happy-gadgets"
untether config set projects.happy-gadgets.chat_id -1001234567890
```

=== “toml”

```toml
[projects.happy-gadgets]
path = "~/dev/happy-gadgets"
chat_id = -1001234567890
```

Messages from that chat now default to the project.

Rules for chat ids

• Each projects.*.chat_id must be unique.
• A project chat_id must not match transports.telegram.chat_id.
• Telegram uses positive IDs for private chats and negative IDs for groups/supergroups.
