Is there a command line tool to generate QR codes out there?

    This works great, and I very much prefer generating my QR codes locally than on any website.

    I used this to get QR codes implemented in a legacy print system. Worked great. It's also in Homebrew.

  Also https://github.com/gtanner/qrcode-terminal https://github.com/gtanner/qrcode-terminal (nodejs) Generates code with ascii block characters. Can be use as a library or a a terminal command

    Both libqrencode and qrcode-terminal are capable of using ANSI escape codes for colored text to produce black and whites squares. Two space characters make about the right aspect ratio in an xterm window. I reinvented the same method myself a while ago, so it's funny how different people come up with the same idea. Haven't tried it on a VT100 terminal yet, but it should probably work there too.

  Specifically for text QR, there's `qr` from: https://github.com/lincolnloop/python-qrcode https://github.com/lincolnloop/python-qrcode In Archlinux, it's in the python-qrcode package. There're other command line utilities to make PNG QRs, like `qrencode`.

    qrencode also has a -t argument which accepts a utf8 value. Great way for quickly opening URLs you have in your clipboard on mobile devices during development as you can pipe in your clipboard to qrencode.
