# chown-chmod-me: set file access control to solely me.
Syntax:
chown-chmod-me [paths]

## Implementation
This tool uses existing Unix commands:
* Use the command `chown` to set the user and group.
* Use the command `chmod` to remove non-user permissions.
* Use the command `id` to get the user name and primary group name.
This tool is this simple:
```sh
chown -R "$(id -un):$(id -gn)" "$@"
chmod -R go= "$@"
```
We use this tool because it is easy and safe for people with a range of skill levels.
