2. In your command line tool, cd into the project you want to stream.
3. Run ducky login and enter your credentials (username and password) when prompted.

Usage

Ducky uses file system watchers to share your project files with viewers of your channel. Upon initially running "ducky stream" you will see the ducky-stream module sync up each file in your current project. Any file you have gitignored will not be shared. Any subsequent changes to your files and folders, including adding and deleting files will be synced with your channel and update in real time upon saving these changes

When you are finished streaming, Ducky will remove any files you have shared, from your channel. Files are only synced when your channel is live. Ducky does not store your files after you've closed your stream.

Note: Ducky will not share any files that you have included in your .gitignore. You must have a gitignore in the current directory, for you to stream your files.
