shellstream

Version 0.0.1

What is it?

shellstream is a python client that pipes your terminal IO to the web:

To Install

pip makes it easy

pip install shellstream

To Run

To run StreamShell, you will need to receive an API Token from [coming soon]. To retrieve a token, first sign up for the service (it's free) and then head to this page [coming soon].

Add this token to your .bash_profile:

STREAM_SHELL_TOKEN = [your token]

Motivation

When you've got an issue at the command line and need help online, copy and pasting your session on an ongoing basis is a pain and it makes you switch mental context. So, I created shellstream along with the companion website to make debugging smoother.

Limitations

This initial version is naive. It is not cross-platform at this point, depending on a number of unix commands. That will come with time.
