Forward

The ruby client for https://forwardhq.com/. Forward gives you a sharable URL for localhost websites/webapps.

Usage

> forward <port> [options]
> forward <host> [options]
> forward <host:port> [options]

Description:

   Share a server running on localhost:port over the web by tunneling
   through Forward. A URL is created for each tunnel.

Simple example:

  # You are developing a Rails site.

  > rails server &
  > forward 3000
    Forward created at https://mycompany.fwd.wf

Assigning a static subdomain prefix:

  > rails server &
  > forward 3000 myapp
    Forward created at https://myapp-mycompany.fwd.wf

Virtual Host example:

  # You are already running something on port 80 that uses
  # virtual host names.

  > forward mysite.dev
    Forward created at https://mycompany.fwd.wf
