Description

It'd be good to be able to read from redis other than 127.0.0.1:6379.

Command line could be:

$ write-into-redis-stream [-c|-connection=redis://user:pass@somehost.com:1234/db/] stream-name

That would be a major facilitation in using redis streams from a webhook.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Look at how the CLI currently connects to Redis (likely hardcoded 'redis://127.0.0.1:6379'). Use a command line argument parser like 'minimist' or 'commander' to add a ' c' or ' connection' option. Then pass that connection string to the Redis client. Consider default fallback to localhost.
