A small and simple CLI for jitsi-meet written in node.js.

Used node version: v10.15.3

Jitsi is a set of open-source projects that allows you to easily build and deploy secure videoconferencing solutions. This CLI is for the great Jitsi Meet video conferencing platform, meet.jit.si where the jitsi.org hosts a Jitsi Meet instance that the community can use for totally free video conferences , and the Jitsi Videobridge that powers all of the multi-party video capabilities.

INFO:
jtisi-cli is still under development and by far not perfect. Feel free to contribute.
See General Informations for more about this tool

Pre-build executable

We are pre-building executables for the cli tool that you can use in MacOS, Linux and Windows. For building the executable we are using the single-command node.js binary compiler called Pkg from zeit. This command line interface enables us to package the complete project into an executable that then can be run even on devices without node.js installed. Thanks to Travis-CI this perfectly integrates into the deployment pipeline, which means that on every push to the master branch a new release is created and pushed into the release section.

General Informations

I started to develop this CLI-Tool because I really love jitsi and use it a lot in my daily life. Since I mainly work with the terminal, I found it useful to start a jitsi-meet session quickly with one command. Feel free to add more useful things to this tool (e.g. more name generators).
