Command-line version of IdeaBlock Beta for git-like idea push in workflows.

Prerequisites

Download

Install ideablock-cli globally using npm:

$ npm i -g ideablock-cli

Usage

IdeaBlock CLI bundles the current version of all files in the current working directory and adds it to IdeaBlock as a new idea.

  • Select "public" to make the idea public to instantly create immutable prior art
  • Select "private" to keep the idea files private until you choose to make them public immutable prior art.
  • Select "secret" to protect a trade secret - Your computer does a little bit of crypto magic to create a hash of the idea. You keep the files, send IdeaBlock the hash, we take care of the rest.
$ cd /path/to/dir/with/idea/files/
$ ideablock init

The current version requires a flat file structure for the idea. In other words, any subdirectories and subdirectory files under the directory from which ideablock init is called will be ignored.

Beta

Please be aware that this is beta software. Accordingly, the software will be frequently updated with bug fixes, sometimes without prior announcement.

Though the hashes generated by the software will be included in the Bitcoin and Litecoin Mainnets, the user must keep a copy of all zipped Idea Files in a safe place for subsequent proof of existence.
