#wego

wego is a weather client for the terminal.

##Features

  • show forecast for 1 to 5 days
  • nice ASCII art icons (mist and fog are still missing, if you want to contribute, that's your chance!)
  • displayed info:
    • temperature
    • windspeed and direction
    • viewing distance
    • precipitation amount and probability
  • ssl, so the NSA has a harder time learning where you live or plan to go
  • config file for default location which can be overridden by commandline

Screenshots

##Dependencies

  • Working Go environment
  • utf-8 terminal with 256 colors
  • A worldweatheronline.com API key (see Setup below)

##Setup

  1. Install by running:

    go get github.com/schachmat/wego

    The wego binary will be installed in your $GOPATH as usual.

  2. Run wego once. You will get an error message, but the config file will be generated for you as well.

  3. If you don't have the necessary API key yet, you can register here with your github.com account. Your github.com account needs a public email address, but it does not have to exist.

  4. Copy your API key into the .wegorc file in your $HOME folder and change the city to your preference. Save the file.

  5. Run wego once again and you should get the weather forecast for the current and next 2 days.

  6. If you're visiting someone in e.g. London over the weekend, just run wego 4 London or wego London 4 (it makes no difference) to get the forecast for the current and the next 3 days.
