This may already exist (probably even a better version), I just wanted to make one for my self and would like to share 💃

💡 Idea

https://github.com/Gamedirection/ntfy/tree/cli-only/client/cli
Created a small script to simplify using ntfy in the linux terminal.

❯ ntfy -h

  echo "msg" | ntfy [flags]

Runtime options:
  -u, --url [URL]      HTTP(S) endpoint to POST data to.
                       If omitted, defaults to: $(current-url)
                       If used *without* URL, prints current effective URL.

  -t, --topic [NAME]   Topic name; used only when --url is not given.
                       If used *without* NAME, prints current topic.

  -m, --method [M]     HTTP method: GET or POST (default: $(current-method))
                       If used *without* M, prints current method.

Persistent defaults (saved in /home/interfaceas/.config/ntfy-cli.conf):
  -su, --set-url URL      Set default base URL.
  -st, --set-topic NAME   Set default topic.
  -sm, --set-method M     Set default method (GET or POST).

Other:
  -v, --version        Show version and exit.
  -h, --help           Show this help and exit.

Message:
  If stdin is not a TTY, body is read from stdin.
  Otherwise, any remaining arguments after flags form the message:
      ntfy "Hello World"
      ntfy -u https://ntfy.gamedirection.net -t dogs "hello world"

Environment overrides:
  NTFY_BASE_URL   Base URL
  NTFY_TOPIC      Default topic

💻 Target components

This is a small cli app that will live on Linux devices. Can be installed on a few shells.

I'm happy to add it to the integrations and projects page: https://docs.ntfy.sh/integrations/
Feel free to create a PR to add it to that.

ntfy already has a CLI, but I'm glad you many a small one that fits your needs.
