Delete Branch "%!s()"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?
I see the "Getting started" section
I download tildefriends for mac, and now I have a file with no extension. What do I do with this?
Ah, yep. It's a command-line executable.
I would do something like this:
cd ~/Downloads
chmod +x tildefriends-macos-0.0.31
./tildefriends-macos-0.0.31
Subsequently, you might be able to double-click on it to skip a few steps? Not sure. I'm not a regular mac user.
There is #81 as a reminder to myself to make this better.
Thanks for the reply.
It is not clear to me what it is that I'm installing. I have looked at the docs and the main webpage, and all I gather is that this is an ssb app.
The desktop (windows, linux, macos, ...) builds run a web server at http://localhost:12345/ by default that you'll want to visit with your browser.
It can also do a bunch things from the CLI, but anyone who needs that can discover them by running with
-h
for help.The mobile apps (android, ios) basically do the same but take you there in a webview automatically so that it looks somewhat native.
I should also say, "installing" is a strong word. Everything is contained in the one executable. All user data is stored in one
db.sqlite
file.One source of complication is that I eventually want this to be much more than another SSB client, but that's where I'm focused right now.
I do very much appreciate this thread. I will do something with this to improve the overall documentation later.
More questsions
Thanks @cory for the helpful responses. I am trying new clients because my old machine finally died.
I have the file, and I change the permission to +x
Then run the file
It does serve the
localhost:12345
address; why the "failed to send broadcast" message?Mostly harmless. It periodically tries to send discovery packets on all the network interfaces it can see. It's legitimate for some to not actually support that and give an error like this. Maybe you know your network setup well enough to know if 10.5.* is a normal network that should work?
I'll do something to make it only print once per interface. This has bugged me before.
