tinyurl bash script

January 28th, 2009  |  Published in Mac  |  3 Comments

Here is a simple bash script I wrote based on [Wesley Tanaka's script](http://wtanaka.com/node/7750), which in turn was based on code from [Firefox TinyUrl Creator](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/126).

It creates a [tinyurl](http://www.tinyurl.com), echos the result, then puts it on the clipboard.

    Greetings, I wanted to add that pbcopy is an OSX Utility, so here is an alternative to pbcopy for linux users

    alias pbcopy=’xclip -selection clipboard’

    With the advent of the TinyURL api, the wget command has been reduced to…
    wget -O – http://tinyurl.com/api-create.php?url=
