HackCLI

Slack terminal client for Hack Clubbers

Faster than alt-tabbing to an already slow Slack. Check channels or DMs, ping staff or do whatever the heck you want all without leaving your IDE. You won't want to go back

2025-09-22.22-55-01.mp4

Installation guide

In case HackCLI gets detected as virus do know that it's a false positive. Installing with go install should always work tho.

macOS & Linux (via Homebrew)

If you're on macOS or Linux, the easiest way to install is using Homebrew.

brew tap Jan-Kur/homebrew-hackcli
brew install hackcli

To upgrade to a new version later, simply run:

brew upgrade hackcli

Windows (via Scoop)

If you're on Windows, you can use the Scoop package manager.

scoop bucket add hackcli https://github.com/Jan-Kur/scoop-hackcli.git
scoop install hackcli

To upgrade to a new version later, simply run:

scoop update hackcli

Go Install

If you have Go installed, you can just run:

go install github.com/Jan-Kur/HackCLI@latest

Note: Ensure that your $GOPATH/bin directory is in your system's PATH.

Release binary

You can always download the latest binary directly from the releases page.

  1. Go to the Releases Page.
  2. Download the binary for your operating system and architecture.
  3. Extract the binary.
  4. Move the hackcli (or hackcli.exe) binary to a directory in your system's PATH (e.g., /usr/local/bin or C:\Program Files\hackcli).

Setup

HackCLI mimics your slack browser session, in order to have all its functionality (learn more about that in the usage guide). Before using the app, make sure to visit the usage guide to configure the app properly and learn how to use it.

Contributions are welcome

Let's all make this the superior slack for Hack Clubbers. If you see a bug you are more than welcome to submit an issue. If you are feeling like being a gigachad you can also fork the repo, fix a bug or add a feature yourself and submit a PR - your effort won't go unseen, trust me. Visit the contributing guide for more details.

About

Faster than sloppy Slack, that's for sure. Being able to check a channel or DM without leaving the IDE seems goated.
