sfz, or **S**tatic **F**ile **Z**erver, is a simple command-line tool serving static files for you.
The name **sfz** is derived from an accented note [Sforzando][sforzando] in music, which means “suddenly with force.”

- Partial responses (range requests)
- Conditional requests with cache validations
- Cross-origin resource sharing
- Automatic HTTP compression (Brotli, Gzip, Deflate)
- Automatic rendering `index.html`
- Respect `.gitignore` file
- Customize path prefix
## Installation
### Automatic
#### macOS
If you are a **macOS Homebrew** user, you can install sfz from a custom tap:
```shell
brew tap weihanglo/sfz https://github.com/weihanglo/sfz.git
brew install sfz
```
> Disclaimer: Formula on **Linuxbrew** did not fully tested.
#### Cargo
If you are a **Rust programmer**, sfz are available on [crates.io][crates.io] via [Cargo][cargo].
```shell
cargo install sfz
```
You can also install the latest version (or a specific commit) of sfz directly from GitHub.
```shell
cargo install --git https://github.com/weihanglo/sfz.git
```
[crates.io]: https://crates.io
[cargo]: https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/
### Manual
#### Prebuilt binaries
Archives of prebuilt binaries are available on [GitHub Release][gh-release] for Linux, maxOS and Windows. Download a compatible binary for your system. For convenience, make sure you place sfz under $PATH if you want access it from the command line.
[gh-release]: https://github.com/weihanglo/sfz/releases
#### Build from source
sfz is written in Rust. You need to [install Rust][install-rust] in order to compile it.
```shell
$ git clone https://github.com/weihanglo/sfz.git
$ cd sfz
$ cargo build --release
$ ./target/release/sfz --version
0.7.1
```
[install-rust]: https://www.rust-lang.org/install.html
## Usage
The simplest way to start serving files is to run this command:
```shell
sfz [FLAGS] [OPTIONS] [path]
```
The command above will start serving your current working directory on `127.0.0.1:5000` by default.
If you want to serve another directory, pass `[path]` positional argument in with either absolute or relaitve path.
```shell
sfz /usr/local
# Serve files under `/usr/local` directory.
#
# You can press ctrl-c to exit immediately.
```
### Flags and Options
sfz aims to be simple but configurable. Here is a list of available options:
```

sfz [OPTIONS] [path]

## Credits
sfz was originally inspired by another static serving tool [serve][serve], and sfz's directory-listing UI is mainly borrowed from [GitHub][github].
sfz is built on the top of awesome Rust community. Thanks for all Rust and crates contributors.
