Share was inspired by a teammate who asked me to send over a password. I didn't really want to text it to him, and putting it in a file and scp'ing it over sounded like too much work. Share is basically a wrapper around scp and ssh. I remember there was a utility that did this featured on Hacker News but I didn't save the link and I couldn't find it with The Google. If anyone knows what I'm talking about let me know in the issues :)
- Built on top of the Laravel components using Laravel Zero
- Currently only tested and used on a Mac.
Because Share is built around ssh it will prompt for your teammates computer's password. To avoid this I recommend sharing one another's public keys.
You can place the contents of your teammates public key into your ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file. If the file does't already exist, you can create it.
Clone the project from github and cd into the directory.
Run
php share app:build
./builds/share is the compiled phar file. At the moment, in order for share to work correctly you need to copy that into your /usr/local/bin/ directory.
At any time you can run share to see the version of share and all of the commands that share takes.
You will first need to add your teammates computer addresses. You can do this with the hosts command.
share hosts:add jim jim@ipaddress
You can check all of your hosts with
share hosts:list
You can remove a host with
share hosts:remove jim
Once you have a teammate entered sending text is easy.
share secret:with jim mySuperSecret
Jim will now have mySuperSecret in his clipboard.
You can also send files using the --file flag or (-F)
share secret:with jim /path/to/file.txt --file
You can list all of your received secrets with
share secrets:list
You can remove a secret by referencing the name to a secret from the share secrets:list command.
share secrets:remove TheSeecretName
- All secrets are stored in plane text inside the ~/.share/secrets directory. The files in this directory should be encrypted with a user defined password.
- We'll also want to have password managment commands like set password and reset password.
- Fix the
--fileoption so that it can accept absolute directory refrences. As of now you must specify a file relative to your current working directory. - Add a preferences command. I can think of one preference which is automatically copy to clipboard (YES|NO).
- Update the send command so that the share phar file doesn't have to be located at /usr/local/bin. I suspect this has something to do with the bash_profile not loading when executing scripts via ssh.
