# Meet

Start a [Jitsi](https://meet.jit.si) meeting quickly with `meet`. It creates a
meeting with a secure ID and prints the meeting URL to `stdout`. It can style,
open, copy, and send the URL for your convenience. No registration required, no
data collected.

### Dependencies

`meet` has no required runtime dependencies.

Jitsi requires a browser like Firefox, the [Jitsi Desktop
app](https://desktop.jitsi.org/), or a telephone to join a meeting.

*Optional* dependencies add more features:
- `xsel` to copy URL to clipboard
- `xdg-open` to open the URL in your browser
- `keybase` to send the URL to a friend

## Usage

```sh-session
$ meet
https://meet.jit.si/A8ul9DAc/Meeting
$ meet -c hack on meet
https://meet.jit.si/iN9SYLvP/HackOnMeet
🚀 copied to clipboard!
```

### Configuration

Meet works without any configuration files. Optionally, you can initialize to change defaults:

```sh-session
$ meet --init
Base url (meet.jit.si): my-jitsi-server.local
Add random letters to URL for security? (Y/n): n
📝 wrote config to /home/user/.config/meet/settings.yml
$ ./meet hack on meet
https://my-jitsi-server.local/HackOnMeet
```

Meet respects the `XDG_CONFIG_HOME` environment variable if it's set.
