CLI tool for splitting a single CAR into multiple CARs from the comfort of your terminal.

## Install

```sh

npm install -g carbites-cli

```

## Usage

```sh

# Split a big CAR into many smaller CARs

carbites split big.car --size 100MB --strategy simple # (default size & strategy)

# Join many split CARs back into a single CAR.

carbites join big-0.car big-1.car ...

# Note: not a tool for joining arbitrary CARs together! The split CARs MUST

# belong to the same CAR and big-0.car should be the first argument.

# If you are looking to split a CAR to fit under the NFT.Storage 100MB limit using the HTTP API, use:

carbites split example.car --size 10MB --strategy treewalk

```
