# Introducing YTConverter™ - A Simple Command-Line YouTube Downloader in Python
Hey devs! 👋
I recently created **YTConverter™**, a Python-based command-line tool for downloading YouTube videos directly to your machine. It’s designed to be simple, efficient, and lightweight — no external GUIs, no bloated software. Just pure CLI goodness. 🚀
### Why YTConverter™?
I got tired of all the unnecessary complexity in some video downloaders, so I decided to build something minimal and easy to use. Whether you need to grab a video or extract audio from YouTube, YTConverter™ does the job without fuss.
### Key Features
- **Download YouTube videos** directly to your machine
- **Convert to various formats** (MP3, MP4, etc.)
- Handles basic **metadata** (title, description, etc.)
- Lightweight and **easy to set up** with just a few commands
### Installation
1. Clone the repo:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/kaifcodec/ytconverter.git
cd ytconverter
```
2. Run the script:
```bash
python3 ytconverter.py
```
You can then start downloading videos right from your terminal! 🖥️
### Why Use YTConverter™?
If you’re a Termux user, a fan of CLI tools, or someone who loves Python automation, this tool is built for you. It’s fully open-source, so feel free to check it out, fork it, or even contribute to its development!
