gurk 🥒

Signal Messenger client for terminal.

Usage

Download a pre-compiled binary from Releases, or install from source:

cargo install --git https://github.com/boxdot/gurk-rs gurk

Run

gurk

On the first run, it will open a QR code in your favorite image viewer, such that you can link the client as a new device. This will also create a configuration file at the default config location. For the configuration directives, see src/config.rs.

Note: The binary cannot be published on crates.io, because it depends on several official Signal libraries that are not available on crates.io.
