Cleaned up the image files. Cover images go under /static and in-post images are now in /content/posts/img. Edited and rebuilt some existing posts for this structure. I also removed my birdnet post and put it back in drafts so I can publish it as some future date.

This post will act a bit like a living document of all the useful commands and short scripts that I use regularly. Some will
|
||||
be as simple as `ls | wc -l` which counts the number of files in your current working directory, and others will be better
|
||||
suited to small scripts. As this grows, I will hopefully break these into more logical categories.
|
||||
|
||||
## Find by File type
|
||||
|
||||
This command will find every file in your current working directory by the specified file extension.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
find . -type f -name '*.txt'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
As a bonus, if you wanted find everything _except_ that file extension, you can add a `!` before name. In other words:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
find . type -f ! -name '*.txt'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
I usually use commands like this to clean up files that I don't need, be it file extensions I don't need anymore, or anything
|
||||
with a specific word in its file name, so adding `-delete` at the end of the command lets me delete those files.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
find . type -f -name '*.txt' -delete
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## List Files & Dir +
|
||||
|
||||
Using `ls` is a _key_ command for anyone that works within a command line. If you've used `ls` before, then you've also
|
||||
likely used or created an alias for `ls -la` which will display the files, their user:group ownership, permissions
|
||||
(`drwxrwxrwx`) and dates created + modified.
|
||||
|
||||
What if you just want to found the number of files? Not measuring disk usage or free space, but the equivalent of `len` for
|
||||
an array, the array being your current working directory. Enter `wc`!
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
ls | wc- l
|
||||
```
