bit.ly-fy a url in the X clipboard

Project description

bitlyclip is just a script that:

  • takes a url in your clipboard

  • bitly-ifies it

  • puts the new url back in your clipboard

It makes a nice ‘hotkey’ in whatever window manager you’re using.

If you have notify-python installed, it will pop up nice messages for you.

You’ll need to have xsel on your system:

$ sudo yum -y install xsel

To install bitlyclip itself: $ pip install bitlyclip

To use: $ bitlyclip
