Show HN: Remod, like chmod but for human beings
- stephenr 7y agoReally? What is hard about “u=rw;g=r;o=“ etc - literally no calculations involved. This “reinvent things that already work fine but in javascript” is getting old.
- helb 7y agoI've never felt the need for chmod UI, especially with ZSH's Tab completion (https://asciinema.org/a/249373 https://asciinema.org/a/249373), but… well, why not. How does it handle multiple files? edit: oh $ remod tmp/* Unexpected arguments!
- skainswoo 7y agoHi @helb, author here. ZSH's tab completion looks awesome! I'm not a ZSH user so I wasn't aware of that but I'm happy something similar exists in that ecosystem. Re multiple files: I've thought about this a little, but I'm not sure how the UI would best represent the (potentially conflicting) permissions of multiple files. Open to suggestions however! In those situations I personally use remod to remind myself of the proper chmod command, and then copy-paste-run the chmod command with whatever edits are necessary.
