link

To create a new short link, you can run the shorten command:

dubco link [url] [shortkey]

This command will take a url and an optional shortkey as arguments and shorten the url using the dub.co API.

Example

dubco link https://example.com/jhondoe/data jhon

If you provide a url but not a shortkey, it will generate a random shortkey using nanoid.

If you do not provide any arguments, it will prompt you to enter a destination url and an optional shortkey.
