namespacer

CLI to avoid over-writing file-sytem names which already exist.
It is insensitive to argument type (file/directory).

Installation

go install github.com/kendfss/namespacer

Or

git clone github.com/kendfss/namespacer
cd namespacer
go install

Or

git clone github.com/kendfss/namespacer
cd namespacer
make install

Usage

It accepts three arguments:

• path: to the file/directory
• format: string that specifies the pattern that spaced names should extend with
• index: the first number to try if the path argument already exists

namespacer main.go 
# returns "main_2.go" if main.go already exists

namespacer -path main.go -format " (%v)" -index 3 
# "main (3).go"

namespacer main.go " v%d" 40 
# main v40.go

namespacer main.go " v%x" 40 
# main v28.go

namespacer main.go " v%b" 40 
# main v101000.go
