## Historique du projet et usages

catgirl is a terminal IRC client with a curses interface for IRC over TLS. Its README emphasizes focused terminal usability: tab completion, split scroll, URL handling, stable nick coloring, topic diffing, ignore filters, and sandboxing on BSD systems.

### Historique du projet

The official README presents catgirl as part of June McEnroe's IRC suite and points to an IRC Suite essay dated June 19, 2020. The project deliberately keeps a narrow scope: no dynamic configuration, no built-in multi-network management, no reconnection loop, and limited IRCv3 support unless it improves the intended experience.

### Historique d'adoption

The README says catgirl and libtls may be packaged for the user's system, and the supplied package facts list Alpine, Homebrew, Debian, MacPorts, Nix, Scoop, and Ubuntu. That is broad adoption for a deliberately small IRC client.

### Modes d'utilisation

Users run catgirl with a host or load one or more config files from XDG config directories. The manual covers TLS certificates, SASL PLAIN, CertFP via SASL EXTERNAL, logging to XDG data directories, URL open/copy helpers, and IRC command handling.

### Pourquoi les passionnés de paquets s'y intéressent

catgirl is interesting to package people because it combines old IRC culture with modern packaging details: libtls portability, XDG paths, curses UI, optional macOS sleep/wake wrapper, and BSD sandboxing. It is small, opinionated, and unusually explicit about what it refuses to implement.

### Chronologie

- 2020: The README references June McEnroe's IRC Suite essay dated June 19.
- 2025: The generated README page is dated May 8.
- 2026: The cgit page identifies https://git.causal.agency/catgirl as the upstream URL.

### Related projects

- Related projects include pounce, which the README names as an IRC bouncer option, and sandman, the macOS wrapper shipped with catgirl.
