A CLI for peer-to-peer file sharing (and more) using the Hypercore Protocol.
Requires nodejs 14+
npm install -g @hyperspace/cli
To start using the network, run:
hyp daemon start
This will run in the background, sync data for you, until you run:
hyp daemon stop
Command overview:
Usage: hyp <command> [opts...]
General Commands:
hyp info [urls...] - Show information about one (or more) hypers.
hyp seed {urls...} - Download and make hyper data available to the network.
hyp unseed {urls...} - Stop making hyper data available to the network.
hyp create {drive|bee} - Create a new hyperdrive or hyperbee.
hyp beam {pass_phrase} - Send a stream of data over the network.
Hyperdrive Commands:
hyp drive ls {url} - List the entries of the given hyperdrive URL.
hyp drive mkdir {url} - Create a new directory at the given hyperdrive URL.
hyp drive rmdir {url} - Remove a directory at the given hyperdrive URL.
hyp drive cat {url} - Output the content of the given hyperdrive URL.
hyp drive put {url} [content] - Write a file at the given hyperdrive URL.
hyp drive rm {url} - Remove a file or (if --recursive) a folder at the given hyperdrive URL.
hyp drive diff {source_path_or_url} {target_path_or_url} - Compare two folders in your local filesystem or in hyperdrives. Can optionally "commit" the difference.
hyp drive sync {source_path_or_url} [target_path_or_url] - Continuously sync changes between two folders in your local filesystem or in hyperdrives.
hyp drive http {url} - Host a hyperdrive as using HTTP on the localhost.
Hyperbee Commands:
hyp bee ls {url} - List the entries of the given hyperbee URL.
hyp bee get {url} - Get the value of an entry of the given hyperbee URL.
hyp bee put {url} [value] - Set the value of an entry of the given hyperbee URL.
hyp bee del {url} - Delete an entry of the given hyperbee URL.
Daemon Commands:
hyp daemon status - Check the status of the hyperspace daemon.
hyp daemon start - Start the hyperspace daemon.
hyp daemon stop - Stop the hyperspace and mirroring daemons if active.
Aliases:
hyp sync -> hyp drive sync
hyp diff -> hyp drive diff
hyp ls -> hyp drive ls
hyp cat -> hyp drive cat
hyp put -> hyp drive putThe Hypercore Protocol is a peer-to-peer network for sharing files and data. This command-line provides a convenient set of tools for accessing the network.
There are two common kinds of "Hypercores":
- Hyperdrive A folder containing files.
- Hyperbee A key-value database (similar to leveldb).
All data has a URL which starts with hyper://. A URL will look like this:
hyper://515bbbc1db2139ef27b6c45dfa418c8be6a1dec16823ea7cb9e61af8d060049e/
You use these URLs to access the hyper data over the peer-to-peer network. For example:
hyp ls hyper://515bbbc1db2139ef27b6c45dfa418c8be6a1dec16823ea7cb9e61af8d060049e/
hyp cat hyper://515bbbc1db2139ef27b6c45dfa418c8be6a1dec16823ea7cb9e61af8d060049e/file.txt

You can create a new hyperdrive or hyperbee using the create commands:
hyp create drive
You can then seed the hyper (or seed a hyper created by somebody else) using the seed command:
hyp seed hyper://515bbbc1db2139ef27b6c45dfa418c8be6a1dec16823ea7cb9e61af8d060049e/
To see what hypers you are currently seeding, run info:
