slack-pb is a simple script for pasting contents of files to the slack file upload service.
There are two ways to use the tool:
pb.py <filename>
Will send the contents of filename to slack. You can share it with a channel
or user with the --channels option.
pb.py <filename> --channels #my_channel frank
If you want to use options and place the file at the end of the command you can do that too:
pb.py --channels #jokes bob -- <filename>
The above will share the upload with #my_channel and frank
You can also pipe content in via stdin:
cat my_super_cool_file | pb.py -
The script requires a slack legacy api
key. The script
expects the key to be stored in ~/.slack-token.
The first time you specify a non-channel in the --channels option the script
will fetch a list of users known to you and cache the results in
~/.slack-users.json.
