binaryConverter — Number Base Converter

Convert between decimal, binary, hexadecimal and octal — all at once, in one command. Available as both a Python CLI tool and a Bash script.

• 🔍 Auto-detection — prefix-based input: 255, 0b1010, 0xFF, 0o17
• ♾️ Continuous loop — convert multiple numbers without restarting
• 📋 Clipboard support — result copied automatically (xclip, xsel or pbcopy)
• 🖥️ Two versions — Python (numbase) and Bash (binaryConverter.sh)
