Slack CLI Setup

Raw

Sending Slack messages from the command line

Setup a bot auth to get a token https://api.slack.com/web
npm install -g slack-cli https://github.com/candrholdings/slack-cli
fix line endings in cmd.js candrholdings/slack-cli#4
create a shorter command (so you can slack channel "my message" instead of slackcli -t xdf-080808798794238729-29384723948-932847349 -h channel -m "my message":

~/slack.sh:

#!/bin/bash
slackcli -h $1 -m "$2"

~/.bash_profile:

export SLACK_TOKEN=xoxp-329000000498-2300000923-000000000
alias slack='~/./slack.sh'

load them changes: source ~/.bash_profile
I also modified cmd.js to add bot name and emoji support, I should do a pull request
