+
+See `shpub downloads page <http://cweiske.de/shpub-download.htm>`_
+for all released versions.
+
+
+Installation
+============
+After downloading ``shpub-x.y.z.phar``, you can either use it directly::
+
+ $ php /path/to/shpub-x.y.z.phar --version
+
+or make it more easily accessible::
+
+ $ mv /path/to/shpub-x.y.z.phar /usr/local/bin/shpub
+ $ chmod +x /usr/local/bin/shpub
+ $ shpub --version
+
+You might need ``sudo`` to be able to copy it into the ``/usr/local/bin/``
+directory.
+
+If you're running from the git checkout, start it as follows::
+
+ $ ./bin/shpub.php --version
+
+
+Dependencies
+============
+When using the git version, you need to have the following dependencies
+installed on your system:
+
+- PHP 5.4+
+- PEAR's `Console_CommandLine <http://pear.php.net/package/Console_CommandLine>`_
+- PEAR's `HTTP_Request2 <http://pear.php.net/package/HTTP_Request2>`_
+- PEAR's `MIME_Type <http://pear.php.net/package/MIME_Type>`_
+- PEAR's `NET_URL2 <http://pear.php.net/package/Net_URL2>`_
+
+
+=============
+Initial setup
+=============
+::
+
+ $ shpub connect http://mywebsite
+
+In case there are multiple users on the same server::
+
+ $ shpub connect http://sharedwebsite http://shareswebsite/user
+
+If you pass a third parameter, then that will be the name of the connection.
+You can select a specific server/connection with ``-s`` on all commands.
+
+
+List configured servers/connections
+===================================
+::
+
+ $ shpub server
+ rr
+ test
+ anoweco.bogo
+ local2
+
+Also try ``server -v`` which lists server and user URLs.
+
+
+=============
+Post creation
+=============
+shpub has support for the following post types:
+
+- `article <http://indieweb.org/article>`_
+- `bookmark <http://indieweb.org/bookmark>`_
+- `like <http://indieweb.org/like>`_
+- `note <http://indieweb.org/note>`_
+- `reply <http://indieweb.org/reply>`_
+- `repost <http://indieweb.org/repost>`_
+- `rsvp <http://indieweb.org/rsvp>`_
+
+By default ``shpub`` sends data form-encoded.
+To send JSON requests, use the ``--json`` option.
+
+
+Create a like
+=============
+::
+
+ $ shpub like http://example.org/
+ Like created at server
+ http://anoweco.bogo/comment/23.htm
+
+Create a reply
+==============
+::
+
+ $ shpub reply http://example.org/ "Hey, cool!"
+ Reply created at server
+ http://anoweco.bogo/comment/42.htm
+
+
+Create a note
+=============
+A normal note::
+
+ $ shpub note "oh this is cool!"
+ Note created at server
+ http://known.bogo/2016/oh-this-is-cool.htm
+
+Note with an image::
+
+ $ shpub note -f image.jpg "this is so cute"
+ Note created at server
+ http://known.bogo/2016/this-is-so-cute
+
+You can use ``-f`` several times to upload multiple files.
+
+URL image upload::
+
+ $ shpub note -f http://example.org/1.jpg "img url!"
+ Note created at server
+ http://known.bogo/2016/img-url
+
+Load note content from a file::
+
+ $ shpub note - < /path/to/file.txt
+ Note created at server
+ http://known.bogo/2017/some-note
+
+
+Custom post types
+=================
+You may create custom post types with the ``x`` command.
+This is useful if your micropub endpoint supports additional types,
+like `known <http://withknown.com/>`__'s
+`"annotation" type <https://cweiske.de/tagebuch/micropub-comments-known.htm>`__
+(comments and likes for posts).
+
+Create a comment to a known post::
+
+ $ shpub x annotation\
+ -x url=http://known.bogo/2016/example-domain-1\
+ -x type=reply\
+ -x username=barryf\
+ -x userurl=http://example.org/~barryf\
+ -x userphoto=http://example.org/~barryf/avatar.jpg\
+ -x content="There is a typo in paragraph 1. 'Fou' should be 'Foo'"
+
+
+===============
+Delete/Undelete
+===============
+You may delete and restore posts on micropub servers::
+
+ $ shpub delete http://known.bogo/2016/like
+
+Restore a deleted post::
+
+ $ shpub undelete http://known.bogo/2016/like
+
+
+=======
+Updates
+=======
+Existing posts can be modified if the `server supports this`__::
+
+ $ ./bin/shpub update --add category=foo category=bar\
+ --replace slug=differentslug\
+ --delete category=oldcat\
+ http://known.bogo/2016/post
+
+__ https://indieweb.org/Micropub/Servers#Implementation_status
+
+
+===================
+Syndication targets
+===================
+You may list the syndication targets defined on the server::
+
+ $ shpub targets
+ IndieNews
+ https://news.indieweb.org/en
+
+Then specify it when creating a post::
+
+ $ shpub article -x mp-syndicate-to=https://news.indieweb.org/en title text
+
+============
+File uploads
+============
+Most post types allow file uploads. Simply use ``-f``::
+
+ $ shpub note -f path/to/image.jpg "image test"
+ Note created at server
+ http://known.bogo/2016/image-test
+
+The media endpoint is used automatically if the micropub endpoint has one.
+To force ``shpub`` to directly upload the file and skip the media endpoint,
+use the ``--direct-upload`` option::
+
+ $ shpub note --direct-upload -f path/to/image.jpg "direct upload"
+
+Use the ``upload`` command to upload files to the media endpoint without
+creating a post::
+
+ $ shpub upload /path/to/file.jpg /path/to/file2.jpg
+ Uploaded file /path/to/file.jpg
+ http://test.bogo/micropub-media-endpoint/1474362040.2941/file.jpg
+ Uploaded file /path/to/file2.jpg
+ http://test.bogo/micropub-media-endpoint/1474362040.3383/file2.jpg
+
+
+=========
+Debugging
+=========
+To debug ``shpub`` or your micropub endpoint, use the ``--debug`` option
+to see ``curl`` command equivalents to the shpub HTTP requests::
+
+ $ shpub -s known -d note "a simple note"
+ curl -X POST -H 'User-Agent: shpub' -H 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' -H 'Authorization: Bearer abc' -d 'h=entry' -d 'content=a simple note' 'http://known.bogo/micropub/endpoint'
+ Post created at server
+ http://known.bogo/2016/a-simple-note
+
+
+See curl commands only
+======================
+You may use the ``--dry-run`` option to make shpub not send any modifying
+HTTP requests (e.g. POST and PUT).
+
+Together with ``--debug`` you can use this to get curl commands without sending
+anything to the server::
+
+ $ shpub --debug --dry-run like example.org
+ curl -X POST -H 'User-Agent: shpub' -H 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' -H 'Authorization: Bearer cafe' -d 'h=entry' -d 'like-of=http://example.org' 'http://anoweco.bogo/micropub.php'
+ Like created at server
+ http://example.org/fake-response
+
+
+Server information
+==================
+To see which server, user and endpoint URLs ``shpub`` uses, pass the
+server name to the ``server`` command::
+
+ $ shpub server commentpara.de
+ commentpara.de
+ URL: http://commentpara.de
+ User: https://commentpara.de/user/3.htm
+ Endpoints:
+ micropub: https://commentpara.de/micropub.php
+ media:
+ token: https://commentpara.de/token.php
+ authorization: https://commentpara.de/auth.php
+
