dodl
doesn't do much. You give it a file. It adds or removes a leading dot.
Turns .foo to foo and bar to .bar
Why?
I often find myself creating files in "exoctic" locations and forgetting to make them a dot file . . . or making them dot files when I shouldn't So instead of
mv /usr/local/bin/share/lib/init.d/service/file /usr/local/bin/share/lib/init.d/service/.file
I can just type
dodl /usr/local/bin/share/lib/init.d/service/file
Approximately half as long . . .
The Name?
Austrian slang for idiot.
