This is a chat client built entirely on git. Do be aware that this is totally a joke.
I was inspired to do this by slack - the ultimate abuse of a chat program. With all its integrations, there are ways you can set it up so that all you see is a firehose of worthless data; issue tracker events, version control events - to the point that communication through your chat program becomes difficult.
This is a riff on that - what if instead of using your chat program to browse commit history, you used your commit history to chat?
Give it a try! It's pretty simple. Just type this into your terminal:
git clone https://github.com/staab/git-chat.git
cd git-chat
npm start Anonymous
You can set your username if you'd like, by changing that first parameter to npm start.
This is a toy. It's not tested, it's not secure, it's not fast, it might even be dangerous. Don't use it seriously. But do try it out! Also it might only work on linux.
