[ANN] bollux, a bash gemini browser

[solderpunk]

Howdy,

I clone the repo but when I try to use it:

zaibatsu$ ./bollux                                                                                              
GO> gemini.circumlunar.space
bollux:	[] 
bollux:	
./bollux: line 38: exit: 100 Unknown response code: .: numeric argument required
zaibatsu$

Am I doing it wrong?

Cheers,
Solderpunk
