chmod-cli is a terminal application that makes it easier to build chmod commands without having to remember octal values or symbolic permission syntax.
Instead of manually composing commands, you use an interactive text interface to choose permission settings for files and directories, then generate the corresponding command for immediate use in your shell. It’s aimed at users who want a quicker and more readable way to work with Unix file permissions from the command line.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Provides a text user interface for selecting file and directory permission settings.
- Generates chmod output in both numeric and symbolic formats.
- Lets you copy the generated command directly from the interface.
- Includes keyboard-driven navigation for moving between sections and toggling options.
