How to share an attachment using url?

I am new to saleforce and I used the following code to save files to the Attachment object in salesfore:
String base64Data = EncodingUtil.urlDecode(base64Data, 'UTF-8');
Attachment attach = new Attachment();
attach.ParentId = parentId;
attach.Body = EncodingUtil.base64Decode(base64Data);
attach.Name = fileName;
attach.ContentType = contentType;
attach.IsPrivate = false;
insert attach;
Now, I need to generate an url by which the files can be shared outside of the salesforce. After some googling,  I found out that it can be done using ContentDistribution. And I want to generate the url in the apex class itself. I have reffered to many tutorials and no one them worked for me. So, please anyone can provide me with the code or point to a proper tutorial link which expalins the process properly how the sharable url is generated?
