Splash CLI v4

Are you looking for the v3.x splash-cli? Check out the master branch

A new era for Splash CLI is coming! After many weeks thinking how to upgrade the project codebase I decided to completely rewrite the CLI from the ground in Go.

The idea is to replicate the original functionality to keep the new experience as close to the original as possible.

Why Go?

Distribution will not depend on NPM
No need to install any dependencies
Lighter bundle size
No need to use any build tools
Blazing fast (~2500%) (0.22s vs 5s)

Via Homebrew

Be sure to set up your environment before running the command. Required environment variables are:

UNSPLASH_CLIENT_ID
UNSPLASH_CLIENT_SECRET

You can get credentials on the Unsplash Developer Portal.

Also remember that the BIN name will be splash-cli and not splash

Manually

Download the latest pre-release
Move the binary to your $PATH
Enjoy

Build Locally

To build the project locally you can use the following command:

    goreleaser --snapshot --rm-dist

    # Or

    make build # this will only build for the current platform

Note If you have an .env file in your project root make will automatically inject values inside script commands.
