I’m still having the issue where, every time I cloned this with the command line, because I plan to make significant contributions to their documentation, the entire directory will not clone onto my machine. everything is missing except for one folder. Can anyone work out how this is happening and what I can do to remedy it? github.com/buttondown/docs #Git #GitHub #CLI #CommandLine @buttondown

I was grappling with a much heavier subject for a blost, but thankfully, I had this extra little subject in my back pocket, just ready to be picked up and written on much more easily and enjoyably than mental health stuff. ;)

The power of LibreOffice

I have many documents created with Microsoft Office for assignments written for graduate school courses years ago. How can I easily convert those dozens of documents to a different format without using an online application? This is an excellent example of the power of open source.

Five years ago I took a course at a local university where all of the documents were provided in ‘docx’ format. Is there a way to convert those documents to an ‘odt’ format? There is and it is quite simple.

$libreoffice --headless --convert-to odt *.docx

What if I decided I wanted to convert those ‘docx’ items to ‘html’ so they could easily be shared on my classroom website. What if I had wanted to convert all those documents to html?

$libreoffice --headless --convert-to html *.docx

I can use the same tool to turn those ‘docx’ files into ‘pdf’ files with an iteration of the same command.

$libreoffice –headless –convert-to pdf *.docx

Using LibreOffice from the command line inside the directory where the files you want to convert is easy and the conversion is accomplished in a matter of seconds depending on your processor and memory. You can find many more uses of LibreOffice from the command line by entering the following command on your own command line if you have LibreOffice installed as most Linux distributions do.

$libreoffice --help

This is a great example of the power of open source software.

In fairness, that's a culture that the GNOME, KDE, et al. desktop people changed by doing, years ago.

They've had long meaningful names, with more than 1 vowel in, in the desktop applications world for years.

When it comes to nomenclature "st" actually sucks *more* as a name to unfamiliar users than "gnome-terminal". (-:

It's the same sort of deal with the "convenience" aliases versus the full cmdlet names in #PowerShell.

I had a dream last night I was the host of a popular YouTube show which was basically Cribs, but for famous programmers showing me around their command line shell setup.

The Linus Torvalds episode did numbers, but no one wanted to watch me show myself around my own shell.

😅 such is the fickle imaginary audience of one's own dreams. Lol.
