## Aliases
<a name="aliases"/>

## Add alias to .bashrc or .zshrc

### Using curl
```bash
transfer() {
    curl --progress-bar --upload-file "$1" https://transfer.sh/$(basename "$1") | tee /dev/null;
    echo
}

alias transfer=transfer
```

### Using wget
```bash
transfer() {
    wget -t 1 -qO - --method=PUT --body-file="$1" --header="Content-Type: $(file -b --mime-type "$1")" https://transfer.sh/$(basename "$1");
    echo
}

alias transfer=transfer
```

## Add alias for fish-shell

### Using curl
```fish
function transfer --description 'Upload a file to transfer.sh'
    if [ $argv[1] ]
        # write to output to tmpfile because of progress bar
        set -l tmpfile ( mktemp -t transferXXXXXX )
        curl --progress-bar --upload-file "$argv[1]" https://transfer.sh/(basename $argv[1]) >> $tmpfile
        cat $tmpfile
        command rm -f $tmpfile
    else
        echo 'usage: transfer FILE_TO_TRANSFER'
    end
end

funcsave transfer
```

### Using wget
```fish
function transfer --description 'Upload a file to transfer.sh'
    if [ $argv[1] ]
        wget -t 1 -qO - --method=PUT --body-file="$argv[1]" --header="Content-Type: (file -b --mime-type $argv[1])" https://transfer.sh/(basename $argv[1])
    else
        echo 'usage: transfer FILE_TO_TRANSFER'
    end
end

funcsave transfer
```

Now run it like this:
```bash
$ transfer test.txt
```

## Add alias on Windows

Put a file called `transfer.cmd` somewhere in your PATH with this inside it:
```cmd
@echo off
setlocal
:: use env vars to pass names to PS, to avoid escaping issues
set FN=%~nx1
set FULL=%1
powershell -noprofile -command "$(Invoke-Webrequest -Method put -Infile $Env:FULL https://transfer.sh/$Env:FN).Content"
```

## Uploading and copy download command

Download commands can be automatically copied to the clipboard after files are uploaded using transfer.sh.

It was designed for Linux or macOS.

### 1. Install xclip or xsel for Linux, macOS skips this step

- install xclip see https://command-not-found.com/xclip

- install xsel  see https://command-not-found.com/xsel

Install later, add pbcopy and pbpaste to .bashrc or .zshrc or its equivalent.

- If use xclip, paste the following lines:

```sh
alias pbcopy='xclip -selection clipboard'
alias pbpaste='xclip -selection clipboard -o'
```

- If use xsel, paste the following lines:

```sh
alias pbcopy='xsel --clipboard --input'
alias pbpaste='xsel --clipboard --output'
```

### 2. Add Uploading and copy download command shell function

1. Open .bashrc or .zshrc  or its equivalent.

2. Add the following shell script:

   ```sh
   transfer() {
     curl --progress-bar --upload-file "$1" https://transfer.sh/$(basename "$1") | pbcopy;
     echo "1) Download link:"
     echo "$(pbpaste)"
   
     echo "\n2) Linux or macOS download command:"
     linux_macos_download_command="wget $(pbpaste)"
     echo $linux_macos_download_command
   
     echo "\n3) Windows download command:"
     windows_download_command="Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "$(pbpaste)" -OutFile $(basename $1)"
     echo $windows_download_command
   
     case $2 in
       l|m)  echo $linux_macos_download_command | pbcopy
       ;;
       w)  echo $windows_download_command | pbcopy
       ;;
     esac
   }
   ```


### 3. Test

The transfer command has two parameters:

1. The first parameter is the path to upload the file.

2. The second parameter indicates which system's download command is copied. optional:

   - This parameter is empty to copy the download link.

   - `l` or `m` copy the Linux or macOS command that downloaded the file.

   -  `w` copy the Windows command that downloaded the file.

For example, The command to download the file on Windows will be copied:

```sh
$ transfer ~/temp/a.log w
######################################################################## 100.0%
1) Download link:
https://transfer.sh/y0qr2c/a.log

2) Linux or macOS download command:
wget https://transfer.sh/y0qr2c/a.log

3) Windows download command:
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://transfer.sh/y0qr2c/a.log -OutFile a.log 
```
