thinIt is an extremely basic minifier written in Python.
From the command line, run:
thinit.py [filename] ["optional comment text"]
filename-- Name of the file to minify. Include the file path if not in the current directory (with quotes, if there are spaces)."optional comment text"-- If you want to insert a comment at the beginning of the minified file (to reference the version number, date, etc.) include it here, in quotes.
Example:
thinit.py test.js "Test file v1.0"
Typing thinit.py help will bring up a brief help screen.
When executed, thinIt will create a minified version of the specified file. The new file will have the same name as the original file, with .min inserted before the extension. Minifying test.js will result in a new file named test.min.js.
On completion, thinIt will display the new file name, the original file size, the new file size, and the compression percentage.
thinIt was mainly designed to work with JavaScript (.js) and CSS (.css) files. It also has rudimentary support for Python (.py*) and VBScript (.vb*) files. For Python it removes blank lines and lines that begin with a comment, and for VBScript it removes blank lines, lines that begin with a comment, and indentations. Support for Python docstring comments will be coming in a future version.
