servedir

The simple file server command.

This code is literally to simplify my life by making it so that instead of typing a few words in the command line to open a file server, I only have to write one word (not including options like port and directory).

Why did I do this? Because I'm a lazy guy who would rather make my life easier by writing less in the terminal.

go install

Usage

To serve the current directory on port 8080:

servedir

To serve the current directory on a different port:

servedir --port 8000

Or, using the shorthand:

servedir -p 8000

To serve a different directory on port 8080:

servedir --dir /some/random/dir

Or, using the shorthand:

servedir -d /some/random/dir

Now With Brotli Compression!!

Well, some time passed, and then I realized, what if I want to see how my files are compressed? So... I added some brotli compression!

To serve files with compression, simply run the normal command. Compression and best compression is on by default.

To adjust the settings

To turn off compression:

servedir --compression false

Or, using the shorthand:

servedir -c false

To change the level of compression (can be between 0 and 11):

servedir --level 1

Or, using the shorthand:

servedir -l 1
