Nifty Tools Useful in Daily Programming Work

In my daily workflow, I use some codes that help me work better. Feel free to modify, improve, and use them for your purpose.

Tools Overview

1. Image to WebP Converter

A simple Bash script to batch convert images (JPG, JPEG, PNG) to WebP format with a quality setting of 50, using cwebp.
