A chat client based on git

GIC

GIC is a git based chat. It uses a git server for storing messages and managing the chat.

How it works

In GIC every message is a commit message, and every channel in the chat is a branch.

Getting started

Clone this repo: git clone https://github.com/ephigabay/GIC.git
Install dependencies: npm install
Edit the repository link in the config.js file to a git repository you have access to.
Run the app: npm start

Warning

Don't use a real git repository you actually use for work, this chat will commit to your repository every message sent in the chat. It's best to create a new git repository for the chat.
