devbits 0.1.3

A lightweight CLI toolkit for daily development utilities.

devbits

CLI style

devbits provides both a main command and standalone commands installed into your Python environment's PATH.

Main command style:

devbits clearcache .
devbits images2video frames/ -o output.mp4 --fps 30

Standalone command style:

clearcache .
images2video frames/ -o output.mp4 --fps 30
video2gif input.mp4 -o output.gif
clipvideo input.mp4 --start 3 --end 10 -o clip.mp4

After editable install, reopen the terminal or run hash -r if your shell does not immediately find the new commands.

devbits is a lightweight CLI toolkit for daily development utilities, including cache cleanup, media conversion, image helpers, dataset-like file operations, and project maintenance tools.

The project supports two CLI styles:

devbits <command> [options]
<command> [options]
