<p>Ever wish you could get feedback from friends or colleagues about a web project without deploying it? Localtunnel helps you do just that! Run the simple proxy and get a web facing url which you can share with anyone.</p>
<h3>install</h3>
<div class="highlight"><pre>npm install -g localtunnel
</pre></div>
<p>Lets say I have a local webserver running on port 8000. I can expose it to the world just by running</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre><span class="nv">$ </span>lt --port 8000
your url is: http://gqgh.localtunnel.me
</pre></div>
<p>You can now share <a href="http://gqgh.localtunnel.me">http://gqgh.localtunnel.me</a> with anyone. As long as your local instance of <code>lt</code> is running, this url will remain active. Any requests to that url will be routed to your service on port 8000.</p>
<h3>uses</h3>
<p>Beyond sharing with friends, localtunnel makes a great tool for testing with any service which needs to hit internet visible URLs.</p>
