CLI FILE MANAGER

The simple CLI application for working with file system and some special commands.

How to start

npm run start - run app with anonymous user

npm run start -- --username=Siarhei - run app with specified user

Commands

If you use spaces in the paths, don't wrap it in quotes. Example: cd D:\Dir with space\File with space.txt

1. Navigation & working directory

up - go upper from current directory

cd path_to_directory - go to dedicated folder from current directory (path_to_directory can be relative or absolute)

Examples:

cd ../Dir
cd D:\Dir
cd ../Dir with space

ls - print in console list of all files and folders in current directory

2. Basic operations with files

cat path_to_file - read file and print it's content in console

Examples:

cat ../file.txt
cat D:\Dir\file.txt
cat ../Dir with space/File with space.txt

add new_file_name - create empty file in current working directory

Examples:

add file.txt
add File with space.txt
add .config

rn path_to_file new_filename - rename file

Examples:

rn ../file.txt newFile.txt
rn D:\Dir\file.txt newFile.txt
rn ../Dir with space/File with space.txt newFile.txt

cp path_to_file path_to_new_directory - copy file

Examples:

cp ../file.txt ../Dir/
cp D:\Dir\file.txt C:\Dir\
cp ../Dir with space/File with space.txt C:\Dir with space\

mv path_to_file path_to_new_directory - move file (same as copy but initial file is deleted)

Examples:

mv ../file.txt ../Dir/
mv D:\Dir\file.txt C:\Dir\
mv ../Dir with space/File with space.txt C:\Dir with space\

rm path_to_file - delete file

Examples:

rm ../file.txt
rm D:\Dir\file.txt
rm ../Dir with space/File with space.txt

3. Operating system info

os --EOL - print EOL (default system End-Of-Line) to console

os --cpus - print host machine CPUs (overall amount of CPUS plus model and clock rate (in GHz) for each of them) info to console

os --homedir - print home directory to console

os --username - print current system user name to console

os --architecture - print CPU architecture for which Node.js binary has compiled to console

• ###Hash calculation hash path_to_file - calculate hash for file and print it into console

Examples:

hash ./file.txt
hash D:\Dir\file.txt
hash ../Dir with space/File with space.txt

4. Compress and decompress operations

compress path_to_file path_to_destination - compress file with same name

- path_to_destination = directory

Examples:

compress ../file.txt ../Dir/
compress D:\Dir\file.txt C:\Dir\
compress ../Dir with space/File with space.txt C:\Dir with space\

decompress path_to_file path_to_destination - decompress file with same name

- path_to_destination = directory

- you can specify or not the extension .br

Examples:

decompress ../file.txt ../Dir/
decompress D:\Dir\file.txt.br C:\Dir\
decompress ../Dir with space/File with space.txt C:\Dir with space\
