#NOTICE me :senpai!

Welcome home, desune~

A modern terminal IRC client.

a screenshot of your senpai feat. simon!

senpai is an IRC client that works best with bouncers:

  • no logs are kept,
  • history is fetched from the server via CHATHISTORY,
  • networks are fetched from the server via bouncer-networks,
  • messages can be searched in logs via SEARCH.

#Quick demo

To try out senpai "online", a live SSH demo is available at:

ssh -p 6666 delthas.fr

Your nick will be set to your SSH username.

(This connects to the Ergo test network.)

#Installing

From source (requires Go):

git clone https://git.sr.ht/~taiite/senpai
cd senpai
make
sudo make install

For a simple Go local install:

git clone https://git.sr.ht/~taiite/senpai
cd senpai
go install ./cmd/senpai

#Running

From your terminal:

senpai

Senpai will guide you through a configuration assistant on your first run.

Then, type /join #senpai on Libera.Chat and have a... chat!

See doc/senpai.1.scd for more information and doc/senpai.5.scd for more configuration options!

#Debugging errors, testing servers

To debug IRC traffic, run senpai with the -debug argument (or put debug true) in your config, it will then print in the home buffer all the data it sends and receives.
