sh-utils

Some commands to simplify various things.

• pm - move p to p'
• cpm - copy p to p'
• upm - undo p to p'
• sw - swap two paths
• pt - pivot file over a command
• pts - pivot file over a command (stdin)

These commands simplify some common tasks in a shell.

For example, it's often helpful to copy a file to a backup.

jason@io ~ cp foo foo\'

Instead, the cpm command is a bit more flexible and less to type.

jason@io ~ cpm foo

The pm commands, in general, can also be used en masse.

jason@io ~ cpm *

Another common pattern is running a command on a file and replacing it with the output, which pt supports.

jason@io ~ pt sort foo

The pts command is also similar to pt, but allows for some more complex combinations.

jason@io ~ pts sh -c "sort | awk '{ print \$1, \$2 * \$2 }'" foo

Any issues or bug reports, please use the github issue tracker. Pull requests and patches are also welcome.
