zxz - a CLI for quick file sharing via https://0x0.st

I've created this mainly to try bashly. Turns out that the resulting program is actually useful. :)

It basically allows you to:

• upload files to 0x0.st
• list the files you uploaded
• delete the files you uploaded

Again, I'd like to thank @DannyBen for creating such a useful tool! ❤️

Thanks to bashly, it's now so smooth to add/change/remove things like:

• a new --option (with or without args)
• a new subcommand
• help messages

Just like shellcheck, shfmt and bats, this seems to be the kind of tool that will change forever the way I write my bash programs.

That is cool. First I've heard of 0x0.st - seems like a nice tool to know.
I am adding this to the list.

If you create a GitHub release, and put the generated script as an attached file to the release, people can install it with just

eget meleu/zxz
# or 
eget --upgrade-only --to=/usr/local/bin meleu/zxz

I wasn't aware about this eget tool.

Another suggestion:

Move the dependencies to the first command that needs it, mark it with a YAML anchor and reuse it in subsequent commands.

# inside the first command:
dependencies: &deps
  - curl
  - gum
  - cut
  - date
  - grep

# in other commands:
dependencies: *deps

This way, people can still run zxz help without having the dependencies.

Furthermore - if you do it this way, you gain the ability to fine tune the dependencies on a per command basis and only require what is actually being used.
