Have you ever thought, “Wow I wish I could turn my git repo into a messaging server”? How about I need more commits in my repo? Have you ever had a desire to have a very slow online chat with no security whatsoever?
If the answer to any of these questions was a ‘yes’ then congratulations gitMessage is for you!
gitMessage can turn any regular git repo into a fun chat server for you and all your cool coding friends.
gitMessage contains two files client.py this is a client that a user uses to communicate with a messaging server i.e. a git repo. And there is a chat.txt file that has to live in the root directory of a repository.
All you got to do is plop a chat.txt file into the root directory of your repo, then invite members that you want to chat with to the repo. Congratulations you have finished your setup.
Start the client python client.py.
Enter the path to the server / repo, for example hsamuelson/gitMessage.
Congrats you should be connected you or your friends server! You can now send messages. Be patient as messages do send slowly 😊! And remember lets keep the chats PG!
