Sometimes builds on Travis-CI fail for inexplicable reasons. In cases like this, debugging the problem can be very time-consuming. Instead of having to replicate a Travis-CI worker locally, this script helps to connect to a real Travis-CI worker remotely in order to be able to execute command-line tools for debugging purposes.
Obtain an authtoken from https://ngrok.com/dashboard.
