Cloud Uploader CLI

This is my take on the LearnToCloud Phase 1 Capstone Project.

The Cloud Uploader CLI tool is a bash script that allows users to quickly upload a file to the specified cloud storage solution, which in my case, is Microsoft Azure. This script provides a simple and seamless upload experience; providing a wrapper to the az storage upload command.

Pre-requisites

I made a blog post in Hashnode detailing the initial setup. I kindly ask you to check the article as I dove into great detail on how to setup the environment to work with Azure.

Usage

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/jinjinir/cloud-uploader.git

2. Go into the directory:

   cd cloud-uploader

3. Choose one of the below on how to execute the script.

   Option 1: Run the script by invoking bash and passing the script name, the name of your container storage, and the name of the file you want to upload:

   bash clouduploader <name of the azure container> </path/to/file.ext>

   Option 2: Make the script executable and pass the script name, the name of your container storage, and the name of the file you want to upload:

   chmod +x ./clouduploader
   ./clouduploader <name of the azure container> </path/to/file.ext>

What's next?

Pull requests are welcome! Advanced features still missing, such as:

• Allowing multiple file uploads at once
• Add a progress bar or percentage upload completion
• Provide an option to generate and display a shareable link post-upload
• Enable file synchronization
• Integrate encryption for added security before the upload
