remod

chmod for human beings!

If UNIX octal permissions get you down, this is the tool for you. Humans were never meant to do bit arithmetic in their heads.

Installation

npm i -g remod-cli

Usage

You can view and interactively edit the permissions of a file with

$ remod foo.txt

If you think that you want to change a file's permissions to 640 but you'd like to preview the changes first, just run

$ remod 640 foo.txt
