`phetch` is a terminal client designed to help you quickly navigate
the gophersphere.
## features
- <1MB executable for Linux and Mac
- Technicolor design (based on [GILD](https://github.com/xvxx/gild))
- No-nonsense keyboard navigation
- Supports Gopher searches, text and menu pages, and downloads
- Save your favorite Gopher sites with bookmarks
- Opt-in history tracking
- Secure Gopher support (TLS)
- Tor support
## usage
phetch [options] Launch phetch in interactive mode
phetch [options] url Open Gopher URL in interactive mode
Options:
-s, --tls Try to open Gopher URLs securely w/ TLS
-o, --tor Use local Tor proxy to open all pages
-S, -O Disable TLS or Tor
-r, --raw Print raw Gopher response only
-p, --print Print rendered Gopher response only
-l, --local Connect to 127.0.0.1:7070
-c, --config FILE Use instead of ~/.config/phetch/phetch.conf
-C, --no-config Don't use any config file
-h, --help Show this screen
-v, --version Show phetch version
Command line options always override options set in phetch.conf.
Once you've launched phetch, use `ctrl-h` to view the on-line help.
## installation
If you already have a Gopher client, download `phetch` here:
gopher://phkt.io/1/phetch/latest
On macOS you can install with [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/):
brew install xvxx/code/phetch
Binaries for Linux, Raspberry Pi, and Mac are available at
https://github.com/xvxx/phetch/releases:
- [phetch-v0.1.13-linux-x86_64.tgz][0]
- [phetch-v0.1.13-linux-armv7.tgz (Raspberry Pi)][1]
- [phetch-v0.1.13-macos.zip][2]
Just unzip/untar the `phetch` program into your $PATH and get going!
You can also build and install from source if you have `cargo`,
`make`, and the other dependencies described in the next section:
git clone https://github.com/xvxx/phetch
cd phetch
env PREFIX=/usr/local make install
## development
To build with TLS support on **Linux**, you need `openssl` and
`pkg-config`:
sudo apt install -y pkg-config libssl-dev
Regular development uses `cargo`:
cargo run -- <gopher-url>
*Pro-tip:* Run a local gopher server (like [phd][phd]) on
`127.0.0.1:7070` and start phetch with `-l` or `--local` to quickly
connect to it.
phetch builds with TLS and Tor support by default. To disable these
features, or to enable only one of them, use the
`--no-default-features` flag:
cargo build --no-default-features
You can check whether TLS is enabled by visiting the About page:
cargo run --no-default-features -- gopher://phetch/about
To enable just TLS support, or just Tor support, use `--features`:
cargo run --no-default-features --features tor -- gopher://phetch/about
