#### Slack terminal client for Hack Clubbers

*You won't want to go back*

## Installation guide
In case HackCLI gets detected as virus do know that it's a false positive. Installing with go install should always work tho.

### macOS & Linux (via Homebrew)

If you're on macOS or Linux, the easiest way to install is using [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/).

```bash
brew tap Jan-Kur/homebrew-hackcli
brew install hackcli
```

To upgrade to a new version later, simply run:

```bash
brew upgrade hackcli
```

### Windows (via Scoop)

If you're on Windows, you can use the [Scoop](https://scoop.sh/) package manager.

```bash
scoop bucket add hackcli https://github.com/Jan-Kur/scoop-hackcli.git
scoop install hackcli
```

To upgrade to a new version later, simply run:

```bash
scoop update hackcli
```

### Go Install

If you have [Go](https://go.dev/doc/install) installed, you can just run:

```bash
go install github.com/Jan-Kur/HackCLI@latest
```

*Note: Ensure that your `$GOPATH/bin` directory is in your system's `PATH`.*

### Release binary

You can always download the latest binary directly from the releases page.

1.  Go to the [**Releases Page**](https://github.com/Jan-Kur/HackCLI/releases).
2.  Download the binary for your operating system and architecture.
3.  Extract the binary.
4.  Move the `hackcli` (or `hackcli.exe`) binary to a directory in your system's `PATH` (e.g., `/usr/local/bin` or `C:\Program Files\hackcli`).

## Setup
HackCLI mimics your slack browser session, in order to have all its functionality (learn more about that in the usage guide). Before using the app, make sure to visit the [**usage guide**](USAGE.md) to configure the app properly and learn how to use it.
