gorc

gorc is a WIP modern terminal IRC client written in golang.

Building

In order to build gorc, make sure you have the Go toolchain installed.

Steps

1. clone the gorc repo

git clone https://git.illusionman1212.tech/illusion/gorc.git

2. clone the bubbles repo

git clone https://github.com/charmbracelet/bubbles.git

3. apply this patch to your local bubbles.
4. tell golang to replace the online bubbles dependency with the local version you just cloned by modifying line 5 in go.mod and replacing the path after => with the path of your local bubbles repo.
5. run go build in the root directory of the project. This will download the dependencies and create an executable named "gorc".

Note: the patch is a temporary measure until it's merged to master in bubbles

Note Note: prebuilt binaries will be provided once an initial release is done.
