slackcat: Post a file to Slack with a custom filename.
$ slackcat --channel ${channel_name} --filename=${filename} ${filename}
try on your machine

The slackcat command is used to upload a file to Slack using the command line interface.

In this specific command:

  • --channel ${channel_name} specifies the Slack channel where the file will be uploaded. ${channel_name} is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual channel name.
  • --filename=${filename} defines the filename for the uploaded file. ${filename} is also a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual file name.
  • ${filename} is used at the end of the command to provide the file path of the file you want to upload.

To use this command, you need to replace ${channel_name} with the name of the Slack channel you want to upload the file to, and ${filename} with the actual file name and path that you want to upload.
