# 📂 file-share-cli
> My blog post: [A Personal File Share CLI](https://healeycodes.com/a-personal-file-share-cli)
A quick way to share public files with friends.
I built this to get around Discord's file size limit.
Visiting the home path `/` returns a copy-able shell function with a dynamic URL like this:
```bash
# if you are me, copy this to your ~/.bashrc
# and use it like this: share somefile.txt
# and a download link will be echoed
# (don't forget to replace user/pass)
function share () {
curl -u user:pass -F "file=@$1" https://my-url-at.railway.app/upload
}
```
You can then upload files from your terminal and get a download link.
Note: dragging files into the terminal on macOS pastes the file's path!
## Dev
Start the server.
```bash
AUTH_USERNAME=a AUTH_PASSWORD=b go run .
```
Visit `localhost:4000` and copy the bash snippet.
## Deploy
Deployable via [Railway](https://railway.app).
Set environmental variables `AUTH_USERNAME` and `AUTH_PASSWORD`.
