Description:

Hi is there any way to create a production build without copy/pasting the folder hash into a terminal command?

[hsanjuan]

would curl 'localhost:5001/api/v0/name/publish?arg=<hash>' work for you?

(api endpoint off the top of my head, might be slightly wrong)

Not sure. I will look into it... was hoping for something along the lines of ipfs name publish <directory>

[hsanjuan]

ipfs add -q -r <directory> | tail -n 1 | xargs ipfs name publish ?

[ghost]

yes! thank you!
