gomuks

A terminal Matrix client written in Go using mautrix and tview.

Basic usage is possible, but expect bugs and missing features.

Discussion

Matrix room: #gomuks:maunium.net

Installation

Once the client becomes actually usable, I'll start making GitHub releases with precompiled executables. For now, you can either download a CI build from dl.maunium.net/programs/gomuks or compile from source:

0. Install Go 1.12 or higher
1. Clone the repo: git clone https://github.com/tulir/gomuks.git && cd gomuks
2. Build: go build

Simply pull changes (git pull) and run go build again to update.

Developing

For debugging, use tail -f /tmp/gomuks-debug.log and write to it using the methods in the maunium.net/go/gomuks/debug package:

import (
	"maunium.net/go/gomuks/debug"
)
...
func Foo() {
	debug.Print("WHY ISN'T IT WORKING?!?!?")
}
