Pipe any command line output to a slack channel or private message
npm install -g pipe-to-slack
You'll need to create a .p2s file in your home directory (e.g. ~/.p2s). In here you'll need to add your Slack webhook:
webHook=https://slackWebhookUrl
defaultChannel=#random
username="Pipe Bot"
defaultChannel and username are optional
All you need to do is pipe the command into p2s.
<command> | p2s <channel or @person>
the channel/person argument is optional
For example:
cat someFile.txt | p2s "#SomeChannelInSlack"
My use case is when working with a distributed team it's nice sometimes to demonstrate some particular output from a command. e.g.
npm test | p2s "@myMateDave"
