Usage

Show available commands.

node-baka get|g <url> [options]

Download a file from the web.

NOTE:

• The url must point directly to the file you want to download, e.g. https://www.(...)/cat.jpg
• It should start with either http:// or https://

Options:

-d, --destination <destination>

Where to store the file. Defaults to the current directory.

NOTE:

• Prefer Unix-style paths even if you're on Windows, e.g. ~/pics/
• If the directory doesn't exist, it will be created automatically. Also works for subdirectories.

-f, --filename <filename>

Name of the file to be downloaded. Defaults to "file".

NOTE: If you don't specify the file extension, node-baka will try to guess based on the url. You should avoid omitting it.
