Temporary workaround

Use curl to get the JSON response for the latest release
Use grep to find the line containing file URL
Use cut and tr to extract the URL
Use wget to download it

curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/jgm/pandoc/releases/latest \
| grep "browser_download_url.*deb" \
| cut -d : -f 2,3 \
| tr -d \" \

uses pastel to take a text file with a list of colors (in hex) and convert them to HSL. my purpose in this is to replace hardcoded hex color codes in GTK themes with named variables.

this gets less and less useful and finished as it goes on. incomplete and infunctional.

NOTE: the # needs to be removed from the hex code for this to work

basic

cat INPUT.txt | xargs -I {} sh -c "echo \#{}; pastel format hsl  {}" > OUTPUT.txt

convert `.xpm` images (used in gtk 2 theme)

from the base directory of the theme:

magick mogrify -path converstion/png -format png xfwm4/*.xpm
