ipqr

Show your current IP address as a QR code in the terminal

This makes it easy to test a local site on mobile -- because typing IP addresses on mobile sucks

Download

Mac

Using homebrew:

brew install jordwest/tools/ipqr

Alternatively, download the latest darwin_amd64.tar.gz package from the Releases page

Windows

Download the latest windows_amd64.zip or windows_386.zip from the Releases page.

Linux (including Raspberry Pi!)

Download the latest linux_*.tar.gz package from the Releases page.

For x86/x86_64 processors, use linux_386.tar.gz or linux_amd64.tar.gz.

For Raspberry Pi, use linux_arm.tar.gz. Note that although a 64-bit binary is available, the default OS on the Raspberry Pi 3 (which has a 64-bit processor) is still 32-bit.

$ ipqr

That's it.

Examples

Display help

$ ipqr --help

Usage of ipqr:
  -h, --host string       Override host. This will default to the autodetected IP of this device
  -n, --interface int     The number of the interface to display. Use --list to find the interface number (default -1)
  -l, --list              Show a complete list of detected network addresses. By default we'll try to auto detect
  -a, --path string       Specify a path at the end of the URL
  -p, --port int          The port number to append to the end of the host, if any (default -1)
  -r, --protocol string   The protocol to prepend (default "http")
  -v, --version           Show the version number and exit

Use a specific port and path

$ ipqr --port 8080 --path /blog

en0: 192.168.1.226 ==> http://192.168.1.226:8080/blog

Display local interfaces as a list

$ ipqr --list

0: lo0 ::1
1: lo0 127.0.0.1
2: lo0 fe80::1
3: en0 fe80::8a23:9ff:fa4c:48c3
4: en0 192.168.1.226

Select a specific interface number

$ ipqr -n 1

lo0: 127.0.0.1 ==> http://127.0.0.1

Customize the host (skips IP detection)

$ ipqr --host google.com --path /search?q=github+ipqr

http://google.com/search?q=github+ipqr
