Stupid command line tricks: Quickly share screen captures
Sometimes you want to quickly share a screenshot with someone. Here’s
my favorite mechanism, which assumes you have installed both curl
and the ImageMagick suite.
$ import png:- | curl -T- -s chunk.io
http://chunk.io/f/76ea98ea081748e19de4507fde3c2c65
When you run this command, you cursor will change into crosshairs. Click on a window, and this will grab a png image of that window and send it to chunk.io using curl.
You’ll get back a URL that you can use to share the image with people.
