To install Transfer.sh on your macOS machine, you need to have the CURL command-line tool installed.
If you don't have it installed, you can install it by running the following command in your Terminal:
brew install curl
Next, you need to download the Transfer.sh script. You can do that by running the following command in your Terminal:
curl --progress-bar --location https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dutchcoders/transfer.sh/master/transfer.sh --output /usr/local/bin/transfer
This command will download the Transfer.sh script and save it in /usr/local/bin/transfer.
Once you have downloaded the Transfer.sh script, you need to make it executable. You can do that by running the following command in your Terminal:
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/transfer
You can now test Transfer.sh to make sure it's working properly. You can do that by running the following command in your Terminal:
transfer my_file.txt
This command will upload the file my_file.txt to Transfer.sh and provide you with a link to share with others.
