TERMINAL CHAT IS CURRENTLY OUT OF SERVICE

About Terminal Chat

Terminal Chat allows user to chat anonymously with one another without the need of creating an account and all of this in the comfort of your terminal.

Installation

  • Download OR Clone the repository in your machine:
git clone https://github.com/baibhavanand/terminalchat
  • Switch to terminalchat directory:
cd terminalchat
  • Switch to install directory:
cd install
  • Give permissions to install.sh file:
sudo chmod 555 install.sh
  • Run install.sh:
sudo ./install.sh --install

Usage

Works best with terminator - https://terminator-gtk3.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

  • On normal bash shell open two different windows. Or If using terminator make a horizontal split.
  • In the first window type termchat
  • In the second window type getmessage

In the termchat menu:

  • Enter your name: Your Name here .
  • Enter 6 digit roomnumber (if doesn't exist, it will be created) : Random 6 digit number .
  • Enter length 6 (alpha-numberic) password (if doesn't exist, it will be created) : Length 6 alpha numberic ROOM password .

In the getmessage menu:

  • Now use the same room number and password here

Now your partner to whom you want to chat with can use the same room number and password to join in the same room and you guys will be able to chat with each other without caring about about data being leaked or accessed and all this in comfort of your terminal.
