# Prelude ERC
ERC is a popular IRC client bundled with Emacs.
ERC is both powerful and complex, that's why Prelude bundles
some configuration for it, together with a few handy commands
like `start-irc` and `stop-irc`.
## Customizing Server list
If you want to join a list of servers on `M-x start-irc`, other than
the default list, please redefine the variable `my-fav-irc` as follows
in your personal config

## Reading NickServ passwords from auth-source plugin
If you want to automatically authenticate while logging into IRC
servers set the `erc-prompt-for-password` to nil as follows

## Opening all ERC buffers in a new perspective
Many a time when we start IRC with the `start-irc` command, all the
channels open in our existing workspace, which can be annoying to
some; especially to those who like to organize their buffers into
separate groups (perspectives). To avoid this scenario, it is better
to group all the ERC buffers into one perspective called `IRC` when
`start-irc` is called. To enable this set the `prelude-new-irc-persp`
variable to true as follows
