GUID
Command-line tool for generating GUIDs
GUID is a lightweight command-line tool written in C# that generates GUIDs with customizable options, such as specifying the number of GUIDs, choosing a separator, or removing the dashes (`-`).
## Instalation
1. Dowload the program directly from [the GitHub releases page](https://github.com/RonDeppe/guid/releases/latest).
2. Add a folder for scripts to your PATH variable. Usually this is `C:\Users\{Username}\bin`.
3. Place `guid.exe` in this folder.
## Usage
### Running the Program
To run the program, simply execute the following command in the terminal:
```ps
guid.exe
```
### Generating Multiple GUIDs
To generate a specific number of GUIDs, use the `--amount` flag followed by the desired count:
```shell
guid.exe --amount 5
```
Example output:
```

```
### Customizing Separators
You can customize the separator between GUIDs using the `--separator` flag, followed by the desired characters. Here are a few examples:
1. Using `*\n` as a separator:
```ps
guid.exe --amount 3 --separator *\n
```
Example output:
```
038f388a-0b74-4f79-9b98-260488efb68a*
b66ed1e5-7c74-4af0-9692-11c5d3048294*
ce97871e-a008-4808-b0d0-5676836fa076
```
2. Using `@` as a separator:
```ps
guid.exe --amount 3 --separator @
```
Example output:
```

```
3. Using `" # "` as a separator:
```ps
guid.exe --amount 3 --separator " # "
```
Example output:
```
3671d154-a86b-4f99-af31-956f313323c3 # 15092173-28f8-4f4d-9312-d0158d8cc8d1 # 3e5db697-a09d-4413-ab53-2b024acc697d
```
### Compact Format
To generate GUIDs without dashes (`-`), use the `-c` flag:
```ps
guid.exe -c
```
Example output:
```

## FAQ
### Q: What platforms are supported
Currently only windows 11 has been tested, but other systems and older versions of windows should work.
