Hello,
Today we discussed IRC and rcIRC in the emacs lisp session.
Below is the setting we configured to connect to IRC from within emacs:
Step 1: write and save the below configuration inside .emacs file in your home
directory
----
(setq rcirc-time-format "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M ")
(setq rcirc-default-nick "YOUR_USERNAME")
(setq rcirc-default-user-name "YOUR_USERNAME")
(setq rcirc-default-full-name "YOUR_USERNAME")
(setq rcirc-authinfo
'(("freenode" nickserv "YOUR_USERNAME" "YOUR_PASSWORD")))
(setq rcirc-server-alist
'(("irc.freenode.net"
:port 6697
:encryption tls
:channels ("#strikr"))))
(setq rcirc-auto-authenticate-flat t)
(setq rcirc-track-minor-mode 1)
----
Step 2: After saving the file, start a new emacs session and run:
M-x irc RET
It will pick up the settings in the .emacs file and connect to irc.freenode.net
server
Give it try !
Please feel free to ask any queries if you may have.
thanks
Ragini
