Ephemeral CLI

This is the official command-line interface for Ephemeral Hubs, a temporary, no-login-required space for text, files, and collaborative brainstorming.

This tool allows you to interact with ephemeral hubs directly from your terminal, making it easy to script and automate your workflows. It connects to the production backend at https://ephemeral-hub.com by default.

Installation

cargo install ephemeral_hub

Usage -- Manage a hub (create | pipe | upload | get)

# create -- Instantly generates a new ephemeral hub and returns its details.
ephemeral create

# pipe - Reads text from standard input and sends it to a hub's text bin.
cat log.txt | ephemeral pipe <API_URL>

# upload -- Uploads a local file to a hub.
ephemeral upload ./archive.zip <API_URL>

# get -- Downloads all content from a hub (text bin and all files) as a single .zip archive.
ephemeral get <API_URL>

Configuration
# By default, the CLI connects to the live server at https://ephemeral-hub.com. To override this for local development or to point to a self-hosted instance, you can set the EPHEMERAL_API_URL environment variable:

export EPHEMERAL_API_URL="http://127.0.0.1:3000"
