# Stdin
$ ls | gistit

# Additional info

# Hit **authorize** and wait for the CLI to resume automatically.

Copy hash to system clipboard.

$ gistit myfile.txt -c
# Hash is now on your clipboard

Fetching gistits

# Fetch and preview
$ gistit f 8765d324ddd800f1112e77fece3d3ff2

# Fetch and save to local data directory
$ gistit f 8765d324ddd800f1112e77fece3d3ff2 --save

P2p

Peer to peer file sharing is opt in. Simply install gistit-daemon and start the background process.

# Start
$ gistit node --start
