CLI tool for processing files and strings.

Grace helps you organize your files by converting them to the proper case and clearing out unnecessary characters such as ` ' [ ] and many others.

Grace can also rename strings to the correct case and clear them of unnecessary characters.

Now Grace can renames files, directories and strings into a lot of cases, such as

• Alternating -> tHiS wAy
• Snake -> this_way
• Camel -> thisWay
• Kebab -> this-way
• Dot -> this.way
• Header -> This-Way
• Normal -> this way
• Original -> "this way" (returns the string as it was)
• Pascal -> ThisWay
• Path -> this/way
• Sentence -> This way
• Title -> This Way
• UpperSnake -> THIS_WAY
• WindowsPath -> this\way

You can download suitable executable from https://github.com/meinbaumm/grace/releases and copy it in some directory that is listed in your PATH (e.g. ~/bin).

You may also use cargo to install grace from crates.io:

cargo install grace-cli

Grace is written in Rust. You may build it yourself with the help of cargo. Just clone this repository and execute the cargo build command in its main directory:

cargo build --release

Grace now has the name grace-cli in crates.io. But I prefer just grace more. To avoid writing grace-cli every time, you can add an alias to your .bashrc or .zshrc file.

If you installed grace with cargo:

which grace-cli

Then copy the output and in your .bashrc or .zshrc file write

alias grace="~/./.cargo/bin/grace-cli"

Next source file like. And use with pleasure :)

source .zshrc

grace-cli recase files -d test-dir/ -i camel

Will recase all files in provided directory into camelCase. If you wand recase only files with specific extension, use -f/--formats flag.

grace-cli recase files -d test-dir/ -i camel -f "pdf, epub"

If you wand recase directories too, you can write

grace-cli recase files -d test-dir/ -i camel -d

Grace also can rename files recursively, just provide -r/--recursive flag.

Will recase all files in provided directories and files in subdirectories.

Unfortunately, recursively renaming directories is not supported now.

grace-cli recase dir -f test-dir/ -i snake

Will return
