SwiftShare

Welcome to SwiftShare! This handy Bash script simplifies managing text files, allowing you to quickly insert and view text in a designated file. Whether you need to jot down quick notes or save longer entries, SwiftShare is designed to streamline your workflow.

Why SwiftShare?

Have you ever found yourself SSHing into your Kali Linux VM or bare metal machine just to share text? The hassle of copying it to your phone via WhatsApp, Telegram, or email can be tedious. With SwiftShare, you can simply SSH into your machine, add your text, and access it easily—no more complicated processes!

Features

• Insert Text: Add a single line, a paragraph, or a custom number of lines.
• View Text: Access recently added lines, specific line numbers, or view all content.
• Custom File Path: Use a specified file path or the default one at ~/Desktop/share_folder/text_recent.
