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
