# Edir

Easily "edit" a directory in your editor.

## Installation

~~~

$ git clone ...

$ bundle

$ rake install

~~~

## Usage

~~~

$ edir

~~~

Presents an `ls` listing of the current directory in your `$EDITOR`. You 

can then edit this listing to what you want the directory contents to 

look like and save. Then, `edir` will use the differences to make those 

changes.

* Remove lines and those files will be deleted

* Change a line's filename to rename that file

* Duplicate a line and change its name to copy that file

## WARNING

This is a **prototype**. I take no responsibility if it deletes files 

unexpectedly.

## Existing tools

I'm pretty sure there are already editor-specific plugins that do this 

and then some. Vim's own file explore has a few commands to manipulate 

the file under cursor. However, I'm not sure of anything that provides 

this functionality in an editor-agnostic way. Regardless, it was (and 

is) fun to hack on.

## Upcoming

* Ability to pass additional options to the `ls` command

* See edits to permissions and ownership fields and execute the proper 

  `chmod` or `chown` commands
