Really? What is hard about “u=rw;g=r;o=“ etc - literally no calculations involved.

This “reinvent things that already work fine but in javascript” is getting old.

I've never felt the need for chmod UI, especially with ZSH's Tab completion (https://asciinema.org/a/249373), but… well, why not.

How does it handle multiple files?

edit: oh

    $ remod tmp/*
    Unexpected arguments!
Hi @helb, author here. ZSH's tab completion looks awesome! I'm not a ZSH user so I wasn't aware of that but I'm happy something similar exists in that ecosystem.

Re multiple files: I've thought about this a little, but I'm not sure how the UI would best represent the (potentially conflicting) permissions of multiple files. Open to suggestions however! In those situations I personally use remod to remind myself of the proper chmod command, and then copy-paste-run the chmod command with whatever edits are necessary.

Another small step at making the command line more user friendly.
