# - Checks per each item that is is a macOS alias or a symlink and its target is a regular file
# - Replaces each alias or symlink with the file it points to
# - Names the newly created file with the filename of the alias/symlink it replaces
#   - and if that alias has no extension, uses the extension of the file it points to
#   - and if that file has no extension either, the newly created file has none too.
# - Is fast and space-efficient on APFS (copy-on-write).

Touch a file modification date or creation date or both

Syntax

• touch <file> → Changes the modification date of file to NOW.
• touch -a <file> → Changes the access date of file to NOW.
• touch-c <file> → Changes the creation date of file to NOW.
• touch-cm <file> → Changes both the creation date and the modification date of file to NOW.

Setup

porg

#!/bin/bash

if [[ -z "$1" || -z "$2" || "$1" == "-h" || "$1" == "--help" ]] ; then
		cat <<EOF
USAGE: `basename $0` backupDir targetDir

  Loops through all files on root level of backupDir.
  For each file in backupDir it tries to find a same named file in targetDir.
  - If not found in target (because renamed or removed meanwhile) the file is skipped.
  - If found and they have the same modification timestamp nothing is done either.
