Configuration

To manage your sources, you can run the subcommands (e.g. rss or youtube) and they will explain how to manage them. You can add, list, or bulk edit them. You can also search for anime, manga, and YouTube channels. Try the following:

your@machine:~$ sitch youtube search
Search for an channel by name: Shnabubula
Found 5 results:
1: "Shnabubula" (id = UC9XtgFNeoDbjISzoJT0Qi9w)
2: "Shnabubula Archives" (id = UCAnR_x1Zw8QeOMKZNpPLmfA)
3: "Shnabubula - Topic" (id = UCafsTb5OoyWFAhDYvHvwrww)
4: "Red Tailed Fox & Shnabubula - Topic" (id = UClcNGxtDFYQ6koL5Diw-baw)
5: "Simply Retro DX" (id = UCW_quA3bcrfSl446z78Z0SQ)
Pick a result to add [1 to 5]: 1
Added a new channel.

Most of the sources are batteries included, but YouTube requires an API key for checking for updates and for using the search functionality. Sitch uses the YouTube API v3. You'll need to follow this link to get started. You can use the following to set your API key once you acquire one:

sitch youtube apikey set -k <YOUR KEY HERE>

If you don't set one, sitch will just ignore your YouTube channels until you set one.
