To use `pop`, you will need a `RESEND_API_KEY`.

You can grab one from: https://resend.com/api-keys.

### Environment

To avoid typing your `From: ` email address, you can also set the `RESEND_FROM`
environment to pre-fill the field anytime you launch `pop`.

```bash
export RESEND_API_KEY=$(pass RESEND_API_KEY)
export RESEND_FROM=pop@charm.sh
```

## Installation

Use a package manager:

```bash
# macOS
brew install pop

# Arch
yay -S pop

# Nix
nix-env -iA nixpkgs.pop
```

Install with Go:

```sh
go install github.com/charmbracelet/pop@latest
```

Or download a binary from the [releases](https://github.com/charmbracelet/pop/releases).

## Examples

Pop can be combined with other tools to create powerful email pipelines, such as:

* [`charmbracelet/mods`](https://github.com/charmbracelet/mods)
* [`charmbracelet/gum`](https://github.com/charmbracelet/gum)
* [`maaslalani/invoice`](https://github.com/maaslalani/invoice)

### Mods

Use [`mods`](https://github.com/charmbracelet/mods) with `pop` to write an email body with AI:

> **Note**:
> Use the `--preview` flag to preview the email and make changes before sending.

```bash
pop <<< '$(mods -f "Explain why CLIs are awesome")' \
    --subject "The command line is the best" \
    --preview
```

### Gum

Use [`gum`](https://github.com/charmbracelet/gum) with `pop` to choose an email to send to and from:

```bash
pop --from $(gum choose "vt52@charm.sh" "vt78@charm.sh" "vt100@charm.sh")
    --to $(gum filter < contacts.txt)
```

### Invoice

Use [`invoice`](https://github.com/maaslalani/invoice) with `pop` to generate and send invoices entirely from the command line.

```bash
FILENAME=invoice.pdf
invoice generate --item "Rubber Ducky" --rate 25 --quantity 2 --output $FILENAME
pop --attach $FILENAME --body "See attached invoice."
```
