CuginiTech.GZip 1.0.3

CuginiTech Gzip

A small tool to allow a csproj file to gzip source files into a destination folder.

Usage

dotnet gzip --source <file-or-wildcard-pattern> [--destination <some-folder>] [--overwrite]

If just source is provided then the generated file will appear along side the source with .gz appended.

• --source (-s) <file> Source file or wildcard pattern (required).
• --destination (-d) <folder> Optional folder to write to. Will attemt to create if missing.
• --overwrite (-o) Flag when set then source file will always overwrite destination. Normally if a destination file is found it is skipped.
• --recurse (-r) Scan sub folders for pattern too. Destination files will appear in sub folders in destination matching folders found in source.

Examples

Compress files alongside source

dotnet gzip --source *.txt

All matched txt files will be saved as *.txt.gz alongside the source files.

Compress files into another folder

dotnet gzip --source *.txt --destination .\zipped

Compress files every time

dotnet gzip --source *.txt --destination .\zipped --overwrite

Normally if a compressed file is found then it will be skipped. Overwrite will always try and replace the compressed file. Useful for changing source files.

Recurse folders

dotnet gzip --source *.js --destination .\zipped --recurse

Given a source tree with files

├── a.js
│   ├── controller
│   │   ├── b.js
│   ├── views
│   │   ├── c.js
│   ├── model
│   ├── css

You'll get the following in the destination folder zipped

├── zipped
│   ├── a.js.gz
│   │   ├── controller
│   │   │   ├── b.js.gz
│   │   ├── views
│   │   │   ├── c.js.gz

Note folders that don't find a match won't be created.
