# [Twitch](https://twitch.tv) command line interface

## Features
* manage followed channels
* list videos and active streams of channels
* [dmenu](https://tools.suckless.org/dmenu/) integration to select channels,
videos or streams
* manage stream metadata: title, category
* lurk in chat or interact using per channel unix sockets:
- `twitch-cli chat rootmos2` in one terminal and
`socat readline unix:~/.twitch-cli/channel/rootmos2` in another
([tmux](https://tmux.github.io/) sounds perfect for this, no?)
* follow channels activity: follows and stream up/down events

## Example
The menu option makes for a simple Twitch GUI when paired
with a media player that support Twitch URLs
(I recommend [mpv](https://mpv.io/) and [youtube-dl](https://youtube-dl.org/)).
```shell
twitch-cli list --menu | xargs mpv
```

For a more sophisticated/klickety-klick GUI check out:
[streamlink-twitch-gui](https://streamlink.github.io/streamlink-twitch-gui/),
however it doesn't list videos (at the time of writing).
