Puush in Linux

Takes screenshots and uploads them to puush using the puush API and copies the link to clipboard. Recommended for set up with keyboard shortcuts
Utilises gnome-screenshot for taking screenshots, zenity for file uploads (both included in Ubuntu).

  • Make it executable using chmod +x puush
  • Place this file wherever you want (recommended: /usr/local/bin)
