shorturl

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

$ go install github.com/prologic/shorturl/...

OS X Homebrew

Coming soon

There is a formula provided that you can tap and install from prologic/homebrew-shorturl:

$ brew tap prologic/shorturl
$ brew install shorturl

NB: This installs the latest released binary; so if you want a more recent unreleased version from master you'll have to clone the repository and build yourself.

shorturl is still early days so contributions, ideas and expertise are much appreciated and highly welcome!

Usage

Run shorturl:

$ 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.
