A Gemini web browser using shell script

Installing

There is an AUR package for archlinux users:

astro

astro-git

astro

astro-git

You can also move the file *astro* to a folder in your PATH variable, or run `make install`, by default it will be installed into *~/.local/bin*. Use *PREFIX* to override the install location, e.g.

Using

Start browsing by running astro with an optional URL:

`astro gemini://rawtext.club:1965/~sloum/spacewalk.gmi`

you can omit the protocol and port:

`astro rawtext.club/~sloum/spacewalk.gmi`

no arguments takes you to *gemini.circumlunar.space*:

`astro`

Client certificates

astro can work with client certificates if capsules requires them for authentication.

astro allows a single client certificate per (sub)domain identified by it's name. If a client cert for a specific domain is available astro will send it to the server with every request.

When a resource requires a client cert and astro can't find one it will show you a command to create a client cert for the capsule. The certificates are stored in `~/.config/astro/certs/`.

To remove a certificate simply delete the `<domain>.crt` and `<domain>.key` files in the directory mentioned above.

Key bindings

• `b` to go back one page
• `u` go one path segment up
• `o` to open a new URL, you'll be prompted to type it
• `r` to reload the page
• `H` to go to the home page
• `g` to follow a link in the current page, a link will be displayed, and
• `s` to save the page to a file
• `m` to add the current page to bookmarks
• `M` to go to a bookmark
• `K` to delete the bookmark of the current page
• `q` to quit

More coming.

Configuration

You can setup a config file at `~/.config/astro/astro.conf` to configure *astro* the way you like.

The file uses a simple `key=value` style, see the complete example for the default values below.

• *hints:**

• `astro` will be appended to `cachehome`, the directory must be writable for your user.
• The `style-` keys must be ANSI style codes.

homepage="gemini.circumlunar.space/"
