clip2imgur 
A simple macOS command line tool for uploading your screenshots from clipboard to Imgur
Usage

Press control+shift+command+3 or control+shift+command+4 to capture and copy a screenshot.
Run
clip2imgurin your terminal, then boom, the image URL is in your clipboard.If it is your first time to run
clip2imgur, you can choose to authorize this tool, and your image will be posted in your image collection (username.imgur.com/all).You also can choose to post anonymously, but it is hard to get the url later and Imgur might delete your posts.
In default setting, the URL of posted image will be copied to your clipboard. You can use flags to configure it.
$ clip2imgur --html
$ clip2imgur -n
| short | long | description |
| :---- | :----------- | :---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| -m | --markdown | URL will be copied in the Markdown image format.[](https://i.imgur.com/x.png) |
| -t | --html | URL will be copied in the HTML image format.<img src="https://i.imgur.com/x.png"> |
| -n | --notcopy | Your image URL will not be copied to your clipboard |
| -a | --anon | Post the image anonymously |
Personally I like to include images in Markdown file using the HTML format,
which gives more control of the display. If you forget these flags, you always
can run clip2imgur -h to check the usage.
