shlink

Home-grown plugin (joestump/shlink-zsh) that wraps the Shlink REST API at https://u.stu.mp. Requires curl + jq and a personal SHLINK_API_KEY in the environment.

Command	Does
shorten <url> / shlink shorten	create a short link (prints + copies it)
shlink ls [search]	list links: slug · visits · target
shlink visits <slug>	total visit count
shlink rm <slug>	delete a link
shlink tags	list all tags
shlink qr <slug>	QR-code image URL for a slug

Pro tips

• shorten copies to the clipboard automatically (pbcopy/wl-copy/xclip) — shorten and paste straight into Signal or a doc, no mouse.
• Custom slugs and tags: shorten https://... -s omg-outline -t omg,docs. Memorable slugs beat random codes for links you'll say out loud; tags make shlink ls and shlink tags useful later.
• findIfExists is on — shortening the same URL twice returns the same short link instead of minting a duplicate. Safe to re-run.
• shlink ls outline searches targets and slugs server-side — quickest way to answer "did I already shorten this?"
• shlink qr <slug> returns the QR image URL (also copied) — handy for getting a link onto a phone without typing.
• Auth is per-key, not per-user: mint keys with docker exec shlink-server shlink api-key:generate --name <who>. Separate keys mean separate stats and independent revocation, so give agents and humans their own.
