kz

A case converter for your terminal.

Installation

You can grab a pre-compiled binary from the releases page.

To build from source:

go install github.com/jultty/kz@latest

This requires that you have Go properly installed.

Usage

You can invoke kz by piping something to it and passing arguments to specify the desired output case styles or by passing the text to be converted alongside the arguments.

So the following:

$ kz "this will be converted to camelCase" -c
thisWillBeConvertedToCamelCase

Is equivalent to:

$ echo "this will be converted to camelCase" | kz -c
thisWillBeConvertedToCamelCase

If you pipe anything to kz, text passed alongside arguments will be ignored.

Currently the following options are supported:

  --lower,  -l   outputs a lowercase sentence
  --upper,  -u   OUTPUTS AN UPPERCASE SENTENCE
  --title,  -t   Outputs A Title Case Sentence
  --camel,  -c   outputsACamelCaseSentence
  --pascal, -p   OutputsAPascalCaseSentence
  --snake,  -s   outputs_a_snake_case_sentence
  --Snake,  -S   OUTPUTS_AN_UPPERCASE_SNAKE_CASE_SENTENCE
  --kebab,  -k   outputs-a-kebab-case-sentence
  --Kebab,  -K   OUTPUTS-AN-UPPERCASE-KEBAB-CASE-SENTENCE

The order of the options does not matter. Anything not matching the arguments above will be case-converted, while anything matching them will be stripped from the target text.

If your input may contain words starting with dashes that you do not want interpreted as arguments, make sure to quote them:

$ kz -u "the second -u in this line will be interpreted literally"
THE SECOND -U IN THIS LINE WILL BE INTERPRETED LITERALLY

Note that if you pass multiple case style arguments, all corresponding conversions will be printed:

$ kz "a linha de fronteira se rompeu" -u --title
A LINHA DE FRONTEIRA SE ROMPEU
A Linha De Fronteira Se Rompeu
