peertube(8) -- companion CLI for PeerTube
=========================================
SYNOPSIS
--------
```
peertube [command] [options]
```
DESCRIPTION
-----------
`peertube` wraps various utilities around PeerTube that are used either on a running local, running remote, or cold local instance.
COMMANDS
--------
Unless otherwise specified, every command can be queried for its own help or manual by passing its name to the `help` command, or by using the `--help` option.
`auth [action]`: stores credentials for your accounts on remote instances so that you don't need to pass them at every command
`upload|up`: upload a video to a remote instance
$ peertube upload \
-u "PEERTUBE_URL" \
-U "PEERTUBE_USER" \
--password "PEERTUBE_PASSWORD"
`import-videos|import`: import a video from a streaming platform to a remote instance
$ peertube import \
-u "PEERTUBE_URL" \
-U "PEERTUBE_USER" \
--password "PEERTUBE_PASSWORD" \
-t "TARGET_URL"
The target URL can be directly the video file, or any of the supported sites of youtube-dl. The video is downloaded locally and then uploaded. Already downloaded videos will not be uploaded twice, so you can run and re-run the script in case of crash, disconnection…
`watch|w`: watch a video in the terminal ✩°。⋆
-g, --gui <player> player type (default: ascii)
-i, --invert invert colors (ascii player only)
