Upload a file to Slack via console. Useful for one-off CI pipelines

Slack_upload.sh

#!/usr/bin/env bash

# This bash script makes use of the Slack API to upload files.
# I found this useful due to the fact that the attachement option
# available in incoming webhooks seems to have an upper limit of
# content size, which is way too small.
#
# See also: https://api.slack.com/methods/files.upload

# safety first
