redirect-chain - Getting a comfortable insight input URL redirects history

You can accomplish the same with curl -L but I've had this as a little personal hack script in my ~/bin folder on my computer. Thought I'd make it a public tool. Also, from here, a lot more can be done to this script if you wanna help out with ideas.

It basically gives you a pretty summary of redirects from a starting URL.

To install it on your system run:

pipx install redirect-chain

Happy Friday!
