slackerr

Pipe directly to Slack from your shell

Setup

Install with pip:

pip install --upgrade git+https://github.com/olanmatt/slackerr.git

You must generate a Slack OAuth token. This token can be passed as an argument (see below).

Alternatively, any of the CONFIG or command line arguments can be persisted in ~/.slackerr in JSON format.

For example:

{
  "token": "xoxp-XXXXXXXXXXX-XXXXXXXXXXX-XXXXXXXXXXX-XXXXXXXXXX",
  "channel": "random",
  "username": "mybot",
  "verbose": true
}
