If using multiple usernames, the output of the results
will be saved at this folder.
--output OUTPUT, -o OUTPUT
If using single username, the output of the result
will be saved at this file.
--tor, -t Make requests over TOR; increases runtime; requires
TOR to be installed and in system path.
--unique-tor, -u Make requests over TOR with new TOR circuit after each
request; increases runtime; requires TOR to be
installed and in system path.
--csv Create Comma-Separated Values (CSV) File.
--site SITE_NAME Limit analysis to just the listed sites. Add multiple
options to specify more than one site.
--proxy PROXY_URL, -p PROXY_URL
Make requests over a proxy. e.g.

For example, run ```python3 sherlock.py user123```, and all of the accounts

## Docker Notes
If you have docker installed you can build an image and run this as a container.
```
docker build -t mysherlock-image .
```
Once the image is built sherlock can be invoked by running the following:
```
docker run --rm mysherlock-image user123
```
The optional ```--rm``` flag removes the container filesystem on completion to prevent cruft build-up. See https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/run/#clean-up---rm
One caveat is the text file that is created will only exist in the container so you will not be able to get at that.
Or you can simply use "Docker Hub" to run `sherlock`:
```
docker run theyahya/sherlock user123
```
## Adding New Sites
Please look at the Wiki entry on
[adding new sites](https://github.com/TheYahya/sherlock/wiki/Adding-Sites-To-Sherlock)
to understand the issues.
## Tests
If you are contributing to Sherlock, then Thank You!
Before creating a pull request with new development, please run the tests
to ensure that all is well. It would also be a good idea to run the tests
before starting development to distinguish problems between your
environment and the Sherlock software.
The following is an example of the command line to run all the tests for
Sherlock. This invocation hides the progress text that Sherlock normally
outputs, and instead shows the verbose output of the tests.
```
$ python3 -m unittest tests.all --buffer --verbose
```
Note that the tests are very much a work in progress. Significant work is
required to get full test coverage. But, the current tests are working
properly, and will be expanded as time goes by.
