Delete Branch "%!s()"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?
conv(1)
should at least support converting between standard Unicode encodings, ASCII, and other international standardized encodings. It should also convert between at least hexadecimal, decimal, octal, and binary.Why would one tool do both character encoding conversion and number base conversion?
I felt like it made sense as one tool, but if you feel it should be two,
we could do that.
I'm undecided about conv(1) itself. Lately I've been thinking of multiple tools:
I am a fan of this
intbase(1), strcase(1), and strcode(1) might be better
Oops, didn't mean to close.
I am really not a fan of these names, though.
strenc(1) might be better for string encoding.
This is too general, for sure. I am closing this for neatness for now but we should revisit conversions at a later time.
