Introduction

This is a simple irc logger written in elisp! It's used for logging all the irc channels you've joined and automatically organizing them into folders by date. It also supports adding irc channels at run time.

Intallation

1. clone this repo to any location
2. add the path of the repo to load-path
3. byte compile the source file erc-logger.el using byte-compile-file

Configuration

write the following config with any file name (eg. .erc.emacs)

;; .erc.emacs

(add-to-list 'load-path "__PATH_TO_THE_REPO__")
(require 'erc-logger)
(require 'erc-join)

;; You may customize some options using
;; M-x customize-group  erc-logger 

(erc-autojoin-mode 1)
(erc :server "irc.libera.chat" :port 6667 :nick "__YOUR_NICKNAME__" :password "__YOUR_PASSWORD__")
(setq erc-autojoin-channels-alist '(("libera.chat" "#c" "#c++" "#linux"
                                     "#lisp" "##c++" "#clasp" "#clojure" "#guile"
                                      "#vim" "#neovim" "#emacs" "#erc")))
(erc-logger-log-start))))

Usage

You can run with emacs daemon

emacs -l /path/to/.erc.emacs --daemon=/path/to/socket-file

and connect using emacs-client

emacs-client -nw -c -s /path/to/socket-file

You can join new channel at run time using the irc command /join.
