Gord is a custom Discord client that aims to have a low memory footprint and be aimed at power-users.
The application only uses the official Discord API and doesn't send data to third parties. However, this application is not an official product by Discord Inc.
Gord is available on multiple package managers (2 and counting).
On Arch Linux, you can install the latest release with gord-bin,
or get the latest commit with gord-git.
A good AUR helper is yay, which can be installed manually from the AUR.
yay -S gord-bin
On MacOS (or on Linux via Linuxbrew), you can use Homebrew to install Gord. Install homebrew with the following (works on mac and linux):
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
Then install Gord with the following (you MUST add --without-pngpaste on linux):
brew tap yellowsink/gord
# MacOS
brew install gord
# Linux
brew install gord --without-pngpaste
Add the swirl repository.
To build and install the latest release:
# emerge --ask gord
Or, to build and install from the latest commit, unmask the 9999 version:
# echo "=net-im/gord-9999 ~amd64" >> /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords"
Then install:
# emerge --ask =net-im/gord-9999
If you don't want to build the application yourself or use some kind of package management system, you can get the latest binaries for the three major systems in the release overview:
https://github.com/cainy-a/gord/releases/latest
In order to execute the following commands, you need to install go 1.13 or higher. You can find golang packages at https://golang.org/doc/install. On top of that, you need to have git installed. It can be found at https://git-scm.com/downloads.
UPDATES HAVE TO BE INSTALLED MANUALLY
Open a command line and execute the following commands:
git clone https://github.com/cainy-a/gord
cd gord
go buildThis will create an executable file called gord or gord.exe
depending on whether you are on Windows or not. Move that file anywhere
that your terminal can find it. I recommend adding a bin folder to your
user home and adding it to your systems PATH variable. Please search the
internet, using your favorite search engine, for
how to set an environment variable in XXX in order to update your PATH
variable correctly.
For updating, you simply have to delete the folder you downloaded last time and repeat the instructions.
Note:
- X11 users need
xclipin order to copy and paste. - Wayland users need
wl-clipboardin order to copy and paste. - Mac OS users need
pngpastein order to copy and paste images.
YOUR PASSWORD IS NEVER SAVED LOCALLY.
Logging in works via the UI on first startup of the application.
If you are logging in with a bot token, you have to prepend Bot in front of
the token. You also need to enable an intent if you want to view server users, but this is optional.
If you need to find out how to retrieve your token, check the gord wiki.
Currently captcha-code login isn't supported. Thanks for your SHIT-API, Google
