Usage

Usage: holdmyfile [OPTIONS] MODE FILE_DETAILS

  This program is used to temporarily just backup your files on the
  web.  The absolute file address is also stored. So you can just
  restore the files backs with a single command. This program is
  specially useful when you are experimenting with changes to a
  file that may later turn out to be hazardous for your system.

  To back up a file: holdmyfile give /home/dave/file.txt File
  Backed up successfully. Id is qvje

  To restore it again: holdmyfile take qvje File Restored
  successfully. File address is /home/dave/file.txt

Options:
  --path TEXT  Override default path to save file
  --help       Show this message and exit.

A real quick tutorial

Run the command to backup file

holdmyfile give /home/dave/file.txt
File Backed up successfully. Note down the id: ifgi

After some period of time when you want to restore the file back, run the following command

holdmyfile take ifgi
File Restored successfully. File address is /home/dave/file.txt

Notes

Has only been tested on linux so far. Not sure if it runs on Windows and Mac as well.
There is a limit to the filesize that can be uploaded. It is limited by speed of python and termbin.com backend software. Any rough limit of the filesize is 330 kb.
