shorturl is a web app that allows you to create short urls of much longer more
complex urls for easier sharing or embedding.
## Installation
### Source
Due to the necessity of the way assets are handled if you are building/installing from source and intend to run outside of the source tree you need to do something like this:
```#!bash
$ go get github.com/GeertJohan/go.rice/rice
$ go get github.com/prologic/shorturl
$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/prologic/shorturl
$ rice embed-go
$ go build
```
## Usage
Run shorturl:
```#!bash
$ shorturl
```
Then visit: http://localhost:8000/
## Configuration
By default shorturl stores urls in `urls.db` in the local directory. This can
be configured with the `-dbpath /path/to/urls.db` option.
shorturl also displays an absolute url after creating and uses the value of
`-baseurl` (*default: `""`*) for display purposes. This is useful for copying
and pasting the shorturl.
