Devzat

Where are the devs at? Devzat!

Devzat is chat over SSH. Because there's SSH apps literally on all platforms, even your phone, you can connect to Devzat on any device!

Usage

Try it out:

ssh devzat.hackclub.com

You can log in with a nickname:

ssh [email protected]

If you're under a firewall, you can still join on port 443:

ssh devzat.hackclub.com -p 443

If you add this to ~/.ssh/config:

Host chat
    HostName devzat.hackclub.com
    User yourNickNameHere

You'll be able to join with just:

ssh chat

We also have a Slack bridge! If you're on the Hack Club Slack, check out the #ssh-chat-bridge channel!

Public key

Devzat uses public keys to identify users. If you are denied access: [email protected]: Permission denied (publickey), you should generate an ssh key pair with the command ssh-keygen

Help

Welcome to Devzat! Devzat is chat over SSH: github.com/quackduck/devzat
Because there's SSH apps on all platforms, even on mobile, you can join from anywhere.

Run `cmds` to see a list of commands.

Interesting features:
• Rooms! Run cd to see all rooms and use cd #foo to join a new room.
• Markdown support! Tables, headers, italics and everything. Just use \n in place of newlines.
• Code syntax highlighting. Use Markdown fences to send code. Run eg-code to see an example.
• Direct messages! Send a quick DM using =user <msg> or stay in DMs by running cd @user.
• Timezone support, use tz Continent/City to set your timezone.
• Built in Tic Tac Toe and Hangman! Run tic or hang <word> to start new games.
• Emoji replacements! :rocket: => 🚀  (like on Slack and Discord)

For replacing newlines, I often use bulkseotools.com/add-remove-line-breaks.php.
