Just add the following files at given locations: all credits to @guihkx for solving this issue

save your-uploader.desktop to ~/.local/share/applications/. edit it accordingly. make note of Exec=xxx section. it should be the name of next file save myuploader to either ~/.local/bin/my-uploader or anywhere in your $PATH. edit it accordingly. most probably you don't need to change anything besides the curl command on L20

after saving both files, run update-desktop-database ~/.local/share/applications and chmod a+x /path/to/myuploader
