twitch-chat-cli

Read Twitch chat on your terminal

Installation

$ npm install -g twitch-chat-cli

Usage

First generate an OAuth token to connect to the Twitch IRC.

Add your OAuth token:

$ tc add <username> <token>

Connect to a channel to start reading chat:

$ tc connect <channel-name>

Emotes

This feature currently only works in iTerm, which has support for displaying pictures.

To see Twitch emotes as pictures, you will need to have the API server running, which allows the CLI to query for global and channel specific emotes. You will need to have Docker installed to run the server.

You will need to have Git LFS installed.

First clone this repo:

$ git clone https://github.com/dongy7/twitch-chat-cli.git

Start the Docker containers from the api directory:

$ cd api
$ docker-compose up

The server should now be running at http://localhost:3000/.
