Minify is a CLI implemention of the minify library package.
Make sure you have Go and Git installed.
Run the following command
go get github.com/tdewolff/minify
and the minify command should be in your $GOPATH/bin.
Usage: minify [options] [file]
Options:
-o="": Output file (stdout when empty)
-x="": File extension (html, css or js), optional for input files
The following commands are variations one can use to minify a file:
$ minify -o file.min.html file.html
$ minify -x css -o file.min.less file.less
$ minify -x js < file.js > file.min.js
$ cat file.html | minify -x html > file.min.htmlIt is also possible to overwrite the input file by the output file. However, this won't work with input/output redirection streams. Using the following command the input file will be loaded into memory first before writing to the output file:
$ minify -o file.html file.html
