slackcat is a Go command-line utility for posting files, command output, and streamed input to Slack channels. It works like cat, piping stdin or files as snippets or continuous message streams.

Use cases

  • pipe command output to a slack channel
  • upload a file to slack from the terminal
  • stream log files to slack continuously
  • share code snippets from the command line
  • post tail output to a slack thread

When to choose

  • you want to share terminal output or files to Slack without leaving the shell
  • you need to stream logs or long-running command output into a Slack channel
  • you script Slack notifications from shell pipelines

When to avoid

  • you need rich Slack app features like interactive messages or slash commands
  • you want a GUI Slack client
  • you need integrations with chat platforms other than Slack
