Where are the devs at? Devzat!
Devzat is chat over SSH. Because there's SSH apps literally on all platforms, even your phone, you can connect to Devzat on any device!
Try it out:
ssh devzat.hackclub.com
You can log in with a nickname:
ssh nickname@devzat.hackclub.com
If you're under a firewall, you can still join on port 443:
ssh devzat.hackclub.com -p 443
If you add this to ~/.ssh/config
:
Host chat
HostName devzat.hackclub.com
User yourNickNameHere
You'll be able to join with just:
ssh chat
We also have a Slack bridge! If you're on the Hack Club Slack, check out the #ssh-chat-bridge
channel!
Devzat uses public keys to identify users. If you are denied access: foo@devzat.hackclub.com: Permission denied (publickey)
, you should generate an ssh key pair with the command ssh-keygen
Welcome to Devzat! Devzat is chat over SSH: github.com/quackduck/devzat
Because there's SSH apps on all platforms, even on mobile, you can join from anywhere.
Run `cmds` to see a list of commands.
Interesting features:
• Rooms! Run cd to see all rooms and use cd #foo to join a new room.
• Markdown support! Tables, headers, italics and everything. Just use \n in place of newlines.
• Code syntax highlighting. Use Markdown fences to send code. Run eg-code to see an example.
• Direct messages! Send a quick DM using =user <msg> or stay in DMs by running cd @user.
• Timezone support, use tz Continent/City to set your timezone.
• Built in Tic Tac Toe and Hangman! Run tic or hang <word> to start new games.
• Emoji replacements! :rocket: => 🚀 (like on Slack and Discord)
For replacing newlines, I often use bulkseotools.com/add-remove-line-breaks.php.
Made by Ishan Goel with feature ideas from friends.
