Septa golang client and command line executable for getting the next regional rail train to arrive. This project uses the https://www3.septa.org/ API.
The simplest way to install and get going is to run:
go install github.com/dherbst/septa/cmd/septa@latest
If you have ~/go/bin in your $PATH then you can type septa to run the executable.
To build the command, clone this repo, then type make. The septa executable will be copied to $HOME/bin. Prerequisite is that you have docker installed, and $HOME/bin is on your $PATH.
git clone https://github.com/dherbst/septa
cd septa
make
You can create a bash alias to make looking up the next to arrive for your favorite stations:
alias nta="septa next Narberth \"Suburban Station\""
Alternatively, you can use the go install command which should install the septa binary to $HOME/go/bin:
git clone https://github.com/dherbst/septa
cd septa
make install-local
