ssh-chat is a custom SSH server written in Go that allows you to chat over SSH connection. When you open your terminal and type in a command, instead of getting a shell you get a chat prompt. With ssh-chat you get a simple chat room over a secure shell connection, where you can send and receive private messages, check any user's public key fingerprint for identification purposes, and more. You can change the color theme of the chat, block or kick users, and chat on just about any platform where an SSH client is available, including on mobile.
