# URL parameters

gamja settings can be overridden using URL query parameters:

- `server`: path or URL to the WebSocket server
- `nick`: nickname
- `channels`: comma-separated list of channels to join (`#` needs to be escaped)
- `open`: [IRC URL] to open
- `debug`: if set to 1, debug mode is enabled

Alternatively, the channels can be set with the URL fragment (ie, by just
appending the channel name to the gamja URL).
