groupme-cli

Groupme::Cli

This is a command-line interface for the GroupMe app. It lets you open chats in your terminal, post to them, send images, and switch which chat you're on.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'groupme-cli'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install groupme-cli

Usage

There's a little script in this app's bin/ directory called bin/groupme that wraps the gem's runner method. Simply execute

	$ bin/groupme MY_ACCESS_TOKEN

Where MY_ACCESS_TOKEN is obtained from the GroupMe developer site (You'll have to log in to get your token). When you run the app, it will ask you to open a chat. Just do %open chat_name to open a chat. You can repeat that command to switch to a different chat. To send normal messages, just type your message and hit enter, and it should send and show up. To send images, do %image /path/to/the/image. You can exit by either typing %quit, Ctrl+C, or dousing your computer with orange juice until it turns off (the program is equipped to handle sudden termination, but I still don't advise the last method).

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
