signal-cli link -n "optional device name"
This shows a "tsdevice:/…" link, if you want to connect to another signal-cli instance, you can just use this link. If you want to link to and Android device, create a QR code with the link (e.g. with [qrencode](https://fukuchi.org/works/qrencode/)) and scan that in the Signal Android app.
This shows a `tsdevice:/…` link; if you want to connect to another signal-cli instance, you can just use this link. If you want to link to an Android device, create a QR code with the link (e.g. with [qrencode](https://fukuchi.org/works/qrencode/)) and scan that in the Signal Android app.
After linking was successful, you need to execute the receive command to get the list of contacts and groups from the main device.
To request a link and display the resulting QR code image in a single command on linux:
signal-cli link -n "optional device name" | xargs -l qrencode -o /tmp/qrcode.png & while [ ! -f /tmp/qrcode.png ]; do sleep 1; done; xdg-open /tmp/qrcode.png
Do not kill the `signal-cli link …` process until linking is finished; the process will exit when it's done.

signal-cli -u USERNAME receive
