💖 EREANDEL(1) 💖

okay bestie, pull up a chair, because this is the ereandel manual page from the User Commands corner of the manual-verse, and it's genuinely one of the cutest things on the internet 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

ereandel — a whole Gemini web browser, except it's a shell script. no cap. she did that. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

ereandel [URL]|[OPTION]

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

ereandel v0.26.0: browse the gemini web on any POSIX compatible terminal. any of them. all of them. that's the vibe. ✨

👑 OPTIONS 👑

  • -h, --help — shows you this help. like, the help help. 🫶
  • -v, --version — spills the version info. 💜

🌈 COMMANDS 🌈

these are the default keybindings you get while ereandel is running, and honestly? they're iconic:

  • q — quit. bye bestie 👋
  • g — go to a link
  • r — reload the current page 🔄
  • b — go back one page
  • u — jump one path segment up ⬆️
  • o — open an address
  • s — save the current page 💾
  • H — go to the homepage 🏠
  • m — add a bookmark
  • M — go to a bookmark
  • K — remove the bookmark for the current url

🦋 ENVIRONMENT 🦋

ereandel uses 2 environment variables to help with debugging and tracing its execution, so you can literally watch her think:

  • debug — to start ereandel in debug mode 🐛
  • trace — to start ereandel with tracing activated 🔍

💀 NOTES 💀

🔐 Client certificates

ereandel can work with client certificates if capsules require them for authentication. here's the deal, bestie: ereandel allows a single client certificate per (sub)domain, identified by its name. so if a client cert for a specific domain is available, ereandel will send it to the server with every request. periodt.

when a resource requires a client cert and ereandel can't find one, she'll show you a command to create a client cert for the capsule. she's helpful like that 🫶

the certificates are stored in $XDG_CONFIG_DIR/ereandel/certs/.

to remove a certificate, simply delete the <domain>.crt and <domain>.key files in the directory mentioned above. just delete them. gone. ✨

💜 CONFIGURATION 💜

you can set up a config file at $XDG_CONFIG_DIR/ereandel/ereandel.conf to configure ereandel the way you like. main character energy, honestly — you get to decide. 🌟

the file uses a simple key=value style. see the complete example for the default values below:

margin=8
homepage="gemini.circumlunar.space/"
sty_header1='\033[35;7;1m'
sty_header2='\033[35;4;1m'
