Usage

1. Download/Build the binary and add it to your PATH

2. When using for the first time run `c2c`

This should generate a 8 character long key.

$ c2c
No key found
Creating new key...
Created key: 4MQrxK9p

3. Now if you run c2c again it should show the key along with the instructions

$ c2c
Cli-2-Cloud
A command line interface for piping output to web
Key: 4MQrxK9p
Web-UI: https://cli2cloud.herokuapp.com/4MQrxK9p
Version: 0.1.0
Usage:
    $ command | c2c     - pipe stdout to web
    $ command | c2c -q  - pipe stdout to web quite mode
    $ c2c           - print this help menu
                      also generates a new key if none exists

4. Now you can use the key to pipe the output to the web

Open up a browser and go to https://cli2cloud.herokuapp.com/#/cli?id=<key>

5. Pipe the stdout to the web

echo "Hello World" | c2c

5. Pipe the stdout and stderr to the web

echo "Hello World" |& c2c

5. Pipe the stderr to the web

echo "Hello World" 2>&1 >/dev/null | c2c

Advanced Usage

Continous Mode

Put this snippet in a file. I am calling mine term.sh

#!/bin/bash
while true
do
  read -p "$USER@c2c in $(basename $PWD)\$ " p
  $p |& c2c -q
done

sudo chmod +x term.sh
sudo ./term.sh

This should run the command in a loop and give you a terminal like interface and piping to the web withouth the need to pipe.

This is in no way an actual terminal interface. It is just a way/hack to pipe to the web without the need to pipe every command. This lacks basic terminal features like history and tab completion, ability backout of a dir. But it is a start.
