DevToys CLI

[veler]

What's the Problem?

As a developer, I often use command line prompt. Sometimes, I need to do a quick conversion and grip it to another command in a CLI.

Solution/Idea

Make a command line version of DevToys. This can be useful for:

1. A first Linux and MacOS version
2. DevOps (when making a CLI, perhaps I could use DevToys CLI to automatically decode some Base64, minimize a JSON...etc)
3. Simply users who are more used to command prompt
4. Delivering a DevToys build that doesn't require the MS Store.

There's already a prototype here: https://github.com/veler/DevToys/tree/dev/2.0/src/app/dev/platforms/DevToys.CLI

It would be awesome if there was some jq like functionality with this.

Hi, what do you mean by 'jq'? Thanks

On second thought, it's actually probably a bit overkill for a small dev utils app. A terrible suggestion on my part 😅

But to answer your question, jq is a CLI tool for parsing and selecting data out of JSON strings. Rather useful on occasion!

Oh I see! Thanks for explaining this 😁 Indeed, it might be a bit overkill.
