Shorten lets you create, view, and manage shortened URLs. All pages are hosted with GitHub Pages and redirection is done with HTML5's http-equiv refresh attribute.
$ go get -v github.com/kshvmdn/shorten
$ shorten --help
Or install directly via source:
$ git clone https://github.com/kshvmdn/shorten.git $GOPATH/src/github.com/kshvmdn/shorten
$ cd $_
$ make install && make
$ ./shorten --help
Usage
View the help dialogue by passing the --help / -h flag. View the specific help dialogue for each command by running shorten [command] --help.
$ shorten --help
Create and manage shortened URLs with GitHub Pages.

help Help about any command
import Import a pre-existing config. file.

Use "shorten [command] --help" for more information about a command.
On first run, you'll be prompted for a GitHub access token. You can request that here. Shorten only requires the repo, user, and delete_repo permissions. Note that your access token will only be stored locally (in ~/.shorten.toml).
