# IPFS REPL

A bare bones REPL for IPFS 

## Install

You can build the binary by running make build

```

make build

```

Code is currently setup to use `localhost:5001` as node source. 

## Usage

### Define

You can define variables in the REPL through standard assignment

```bash

myVar = 123

```

These can be used in other commands

### Print

You can print the value of a variable by typing its name

```bash

myVar

123

```

### Add 

You can add a file to IPFS by using `add` with the full path to the file to add

```bash

ipfs > add /Users/myCoolUser/ipfs-repl/test.txt

QmZLRFWaz9Kypt2ACNMDzA5uzACDRiCqwdkNSP1UZsu56D

```

The returned value is the content identifier hash for IPFS. You can use the 'special' `$$` variable to reprint the value too.

```bash

ipfs > myVar = $$

ipfs > myVar

QmZLRFWaz9Kypt2ACNMDzA5uzACDRiCqwdkNSP1UZsu56D

```

### Cat

You can use `cat` to print the value of the file from IPFS:

```bash

ipfs > cat $$

This is a test file stored on IPFS.

```
