Gitter

Gitter is a super handy online service that lets you set up private and public chat rooms for your GitHub account in no time. It’s perfect for chatting with other developers who are working on the same projects or share similar interests!

Easy Access to Gitter

The Gitter app is your desktop buddy that runs on Mac OS X, so you don’t have to keep opening your web browser. Plus, if you're on the go, there are Gitter client apps available for iOS and Android devices!

Getting Started with Gitter

To start using Gitter, all you need to do is log in with your GitHub credentials. Once you authorize it, you're all set! Just a heads-up: the free version only allows one private room and keeps just two weeks of chat history. If you want unlimited access, you'll need to pay a monthly fee.

Create Your Own Chat Rooms

Gitter works right off the bat! You can easily set up new chat rooms by defining your own rules and permissions or by linking them with GitHub repositories. Want privacy? You can create separate rooms just for those chats!

Cool Features of Gitter

On top of basic chat functions, Gitter has some cool extras like Markdown and syntax highlighting support. Just hit up the Markdown Help panel to see all the commands you can use! Plus, it integrates with various other services and has a flexible API along with custom webhooks.

Your Desktop Companion

The Gitter application gives you access to all its features without cluttering your web browser. The design is pretty intuitive too! You can create new chat rooms, join existing ones, send markdown messages to users, receive notifications – basically everything you'd expect from a robust chat service.

If you're ready to try out Gitter, jump right in! It's a great tool for anyone looking to enhance their communication while coding!
