QR CLI

Generate QR codes in your terminal or save them as PNG files.

• Render QR codes in the terminal
• Read input from arguments or stdin
• Save QR codes as PNG files
• Invert colors or use large rendering

Install directly from the public GitHub repo:

npm install -g github:asharahmed/qr-cli

If you prefer GitHub Packages, configure npm for the @asharahmed scope:

npm config set @asharahmed:registry https://npm.pkg.github.com

Then install the CLI (GitHub Packages requires auth):

npm install -g @asharahmed/qr-cli

qr "https://example.com"
echo "hello world" | qr

Options:

• -i, --invert Invert colors (for light terminals)
• -l, --large Use large mode (2 chars per module)
• -o, --output <file> Save as PNG file

Examples:

qr -l "Hello from the terminal"
qr -o code.png "https://example.com"

npm install
npm run build
node dist/index.js "hello"

Publishing is handled by GitHub Actions using the built-in GITHUB_TOKEN, so a PAT is not needed. Create a GitHub Release on the repo and the workflow will publish to GitHub Packages.
