        slack-cli
        =========
        
        Interact with `Slack <https://slack.com/>`_ from the command line.
        
        This was initially a fork of https://github.com/juanpabloaj/slacker-cli/ but
        the two projects have now considerably diverged.
        
        Install
        =======
        
        ::
        
            pip install slack-cli
        
        Note that ``slack-cli`` is compatible with Python 2.7+ and Python 3.4+.
        
        You should obtain an API token from Slack. This token can passed as an option
        to the CLI (see below). To obtain a token, go to the [API token generator](https://api.slack.com/custom-integrations/legacy-tokens).
        
        Alternatively, the token can be defined in an environment variable (although it
        is not recommended [for security reasons](https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/369566/why-is-passing-the-secrets-via-environmental-variables-considered-extremely-ins)):
        
            export SLACK_TOKEN="slack_token_string"
        
        After the first use, the token will be stored in a local configuration file.
        
        Usage
        =====
        
        Send message to channel, group or user
        --------------------------------------
        
        Check that everything is working fine::
        
            slack-send -t yourtoken "Hello!" slackbot
        
        Slackbot should answer something nice :) After this first command, the slack
        token will be saved to a local configuration file and you no longer have to
        pass the `-t` argument on the command line. (see `slack-pipe -h` for more info)
        
        Post to ``@general`` from stdin::
        
            date | slack-pipe general
        
        Post to channel::
        
            slack-send "Hello world" general
        
        Send message to user::
        
            date | slack-pipe username
        
        Upload file to channel ``@random``::
        
            slack-upload lolcat.png random
        
        Send non-formatted message to channel::
        
            cat main.py | slack-pipe general
        
        Send the result of a command to John::
        
            slack-run "git status" john 
        
        Stream content in real time
        ---------------------------
        
        The ``slack-stream`` command was written to emulate the behaviour of ``tail -f``::
        
            slack-stream general username groupname
