Could have just named it "brev" as in brevity
alias brev=abbreviate
I love little programs that just focus on some one thing. Thank you for sharing it. I'm more interested in reading the code than using it, which I hope is cool.
Oh the irony in a tool with a name that is pretty long as far as commandline tool names go, that abbreviates strings.
I just submitted a small pull request to fix a few typos in the CLI. Neat tool!
Thanks - that's much appreciated!
