Description

wormhole-william is the go language implementation of magic-wormhole.

Wormhole itself is a command-line tool that contains commands to send and receive files, directories, and text, securely. this is to send and receive files using easy-to-read wormhole code as the “unlocking key” example of the unlocking key in question:5-boy-farming.

The wormhole also provides end-to-end encryption, the endpoint is connected to the same 2 endpoints.

why use wormhole-william instead of wormhole?

because wormhole-william has several additional features that are not present in the basic wormhole, such as qr code support, built-in script for auto-completion in several shell types, various flag options, and qr code support for mobile phones. ..


Installation

  • AUR sudo pacman -S wormhole-william
  • Go tool (requires go to be installed) go install github.com/psanford/wormhole-william@latest

Usage

to make typing easier, create an alias for wormhole-william to be wormhole.

  • send files

    $ wormhole send <path to file>
    
    • send file with qr code
      $ wormhole send <path to file> --qr
      

      The qr code makes it easy to enter the wormhole code on the cellphone. and this includes features that are not present in ordinary wormholes.

  • receive files

    $ wormhole receive <wormhole code from sender>
    
  • send text

    $ wormhole send 
      Text to send: <string>
    

    atau

    $ wormhole send --text <string>
    
    • send text with qr code
      $ wormhole send --text <string> --qr
      

besides sending files and text the wormhole can also send a directory/folder. the same way with the command to send files. later the sent folder will be automatically compressed by the wormhole with the format zip
