URL Shortener

A program written in Go that forwards paths to other URLs (similar to Bitly)

Usage

• First, clone the repository to your local machine:

    $ git clone https://github.com/DreamLineLove/URLShortener.git

• Run the binary or build it yourself (Go toolchain required):

    // The following each runs the binary with default flags
    // Run the one for your operating system
    $ ./bin/apple-silicon-mac
    $ ./bin/intel-mac
    $ ./bin/windows
    $ ./bin/linux

    // Or build the binary yourself
    $ go build .

Flags

• By default -path is "redirect.yml".
• However, you can set the flags anyway you like:

    // The data source is set as "mydata.json" from the same directory
    // It is run on a Linux machine
    $ ./bin/linux -path mydata.json

• Both ".json" and ".yml" file extensions are supported.
