Project

I built this command line tool for generating files on the fly for a given size in kb/mb. I was testing an sftp connection so I was generating some files manually. That's when I came up with this solution

Setup

• Pull the repo
• If you are using a Mac or a Linux OS, you can add the file path as an alias in the bash_profile. To load your changes source ~/bash_profile

Usage

$1 = File name
$2 = File size

Examples

{absolute path to generate_file.sh} random.txt 12mb

Generates a random.txt file of size 12mb in your current directory

gen-file random.txt 20kb

Generates a random.txt file of size 20kb in your current directory. gen-file is an alias in bash_profile in this example

Limitations

• Currently only supports files sizes in kb and mb
