## Get gstring

with curl

```sh

VERSION=$(curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/allaman/gstring/releases/latest | grep tag_name | cut -d '"' -f 4)

curl -sLo gstring https://github.com/Allaman/gstring/releases/download/${VERSION}/gstring_${VERSION}_$(uname -s)_$(uname -m)

```

with wget

```sh

VERSION=$(wget -qO - https://api.github.com/repos/allaman/gstring/releases/latest | grep tag_name | cut -d '"' -f 4)

wget -qO gstring https://github.com/Allaman/gstring/releases/download/${VERSION}/gstring_${VERSION}_$(uname -s)_$(uname -m)

```

```sh

chmod +x gstring

./gstring

```

## Usage

Most of the commands work with stdin so you have to pipe content, for example:

```sh

echo "hello world" | gstring case camel

gstring hash sha256 < main.go # equivalent to sha256sum main.go

date +%s | gstring time from-unix -f "2006-01-02 15:04"

```

However, some commands read from named arguments, for example:

```sh

gstring htpasswd -u bar -p test

gstring lorem sentences -c 20

gstring rng -s 1 -e 100 -c 10 -d ";"

gstring pwgen -n 20 -c 10 -d ";"

gstring permissions -p 3755

```

## What about the name?

Well, of course, from **G**olang and **string**. What are you thinking?
