USAGE:
  editlinks.vbs [/s] [--path C:\path] "replace" "with" ["replace" "with"] ...

• Target — the application linked to
• Start in — the starting directory
• Icon — the location of the icon

    $ editlinks.vbs --path "C:\new-bin" "C:\old-bin" "C:\new-bin"

• The order in which you alter the attributes does not matter. For instance, you don't have to explicitly remove -r before -s, etc.
• You can combine attributes as in: `attr -rsh file`.
• You can modify multiple files via the same command-line as in: `attr -sa file1 file2 +hs file3`.

USAGE: attr.exe [options] [file] [file..n] [options file..n] ...

  no-arguments    Displays attributes for all files (and
                  directories) in the current directory.

  file            Specifies a file (or file wildcard) for attr 
                  to process.

» center the console window

A simple DOS/CLI utility that centers the current command prompt window. It is very similar to shrink and enlarge.

A simple DOS command-line (CLI) utility that enlarges the command prompt window to the largest possible size (based on the current/active screen). Just like shrink, this is a super simple utility and hardly any code, but I use it frequently every day!

A simple DOS command-line (CLI) utility that shrinks the current command prompt window to 80x24. And, that's all it does! It is a super simple utility and hardly any code, but I'm always surprised just how often I use it!

I checked it into GitHub a while back, but forgot to make the entry into my blog.. oh well. Here it is now.

Check out the source code on GitHub!

Cleans and sorts a descript.ion file, removing entries that no longer exist with a couple of other options too..

Check out the source code on GitHub!

USAGE:
  cldesc.exe [options] [file]

  --vf      Remove entries where the entry does not exist.*
  --sf      Save a backup copy of the `descript.ion` file.*
  --oc      Output to the console instead of to the source file. This only
            works when a <file> is specified.

  * These items can be set as environment variables using:
    > set cldescrip_<arg>=true|false

  [file]    Specify the file to clean up. If a file is not specified, assumes
            `descript.ion` in the current directory.
            A file (or content) can be piped to `cldesc` via stdin. In such
            cases the output will always be sent to stdout.

EXAMPLES:
  Sort the `descript.ion` file in the current directory, updating the file's
  contents.
  > cldesc.exe

  Sort `file.txt` and output the results to the console.
  > type file.txt |cldesc

This is a simple utility that converts .md (markdown) files to html. It then combines them into one .html file.

The real benefit of this is that I can separate my book into separate files. As many or as few as I want. I currently have split up my little book into chapters and sub-sections; one file each.

This little utility will only convert md files that have changed, into html. Once all html files are up to date, they are combined into a single file and wrapped inside the template.

It supports a settings file (_ebook_config.txt) and a html template file (_ebook_template.txt).

_ebook_config.txt
   title=My book title
   ext=*.md

The template file is really just an html file. Use @SPLIT@ to indicate in the template where the book contents will be. See the examples folder in the code for details.

This is not a markdown to html compiler: It relies upon markdown.pl (a Perl script) available from daring fireball for the actual conversion.

It is definitely a work in progress, but it does what I need for the book I'm working on. And, it is 100 times faster than editing a single md file and converting the whole thing every time.

» Displays an interactive Git status on the command-line.

Check out the source code and downloads on GitHub!

This is a simple application that allows you to get the status of your Git directory interactively. What I mean by interactively is you can diff files* and mark files for adding right from the command-line.

*In order to diff files you must create a Git alias named 'difftool' that opens/launches an external application to perform the diff. If the alias does not open a different tool (something other than the built in 'diff' command, it will be ignored and lock-up the gitstatus application.

Currently, it only works on modified files. It won't let you add files that are not already part of the repository. I only felt that this utility was needed when modifying files, etc. Let me know, if you would like it extended or fork it yourself!

Yes, it is very quick and dirty. However, it works nicely for what it was made for!
