kirc is a tiny, dependency-light IRC client that follows the "Keep It Simple, Stupid" (KISS) philosophy. It is intended for users who prefer a minimal, keyboard-driven IRC experience in a terminal environment.
- Small, portable C codebase with minimal runtime requirements
- Keyboard-centric editing and navigation
- Simple command and message aliases for fast interaction
- Lightweight build using a standard Makefile
Build and install from source (system-wide install requires appropriate privileges):
git clone https://github.com/mcpcpc/kirc
cd kirc/
make
sudo make install
Alternatively, run the binary from the repository root after
building: ./kirc.
See man kirc for a more usage information.
