Misc command line tools
- Without whitespace:
base64 --wrap=0
- Convert ASCII to UTF8:
iconv --from-code=ascii --to-code=utf-8
- Copy WSL text into the Windows clipboard:
echo "Hello äöü" | iconv -f utf-8 -t utf-16le | clip.exe- This converts it to UTF16 little endian and pipes it to the Windows clipboard :-)
- Start a web browser on Windows from WSL:
cmd.exe /C "start $( echo "https://github.com/" )"
git update-index --chmod=+x ./sample.sh
For example, this renames all images based on the date-taken EXIF metadata
jhead -n%Y-%m-%d--%H-%M-%S_%f *.jpg
-n[format-string]%Y-%m-%dYear (4 digit 1980-2036) / month number / day of month%H-%M-%Shour (24h) / minute / second%foriginal file name
