A simple command-line tool to generate QR codes from URLs. Features include clipboard support, URL shortening, and file output options.

1. Clone this repository
2. Run the installer:

python install.py

This will create a qr command in your PATH (~/bin on macOS/Linux, or Windows equivalent).

Basic usage (copies to clipboard):

qr "https://example.com"

Save to file:

qr --output ~/Desktop/myqr.png "https://example.com"

Shorten URL and create QR:

qr --shorten "https://example.com"

To use the URL shortening feature (--shorten flag), you'll need a t.ly API key. You can set it up in two ways:

1. Environment variable:

export TLY_API_KEY="your-api-key"

2. Configuration file at ~/.qr.conf.yaml:

---
TLY_API_KEY: your-api-key-for-tly

For clipboard support, you'll need either:

• xclip (for X11)
• wl-copy (for Wayland)

Install the appropriate one for your system:

# For X11
sudo apt-get install xclip

# For Wayland
sudo apt-get install wl-clipboard

Works out of the box with clipboard support.
