This is my personal collection of tools I wrote to support various aspects of Windows software development. The tools are largely written in C# using MSBuild as a build engine.

The tools include:

• calendar — displays a monthy calendar
• colour — perform arithmetic on RGB, HSL and HWB colours
• colorpicker & colormatcher — lookup colours
• enc — various text encoding utilities
• git-upload-pack, git-receive-pack, and git-upload-archive — wrappers to support git over PowerShell Win32-OpenSSH
• ico2png — extract .png files from a .ico file
• jtime — print date/time stamps in various Internet formats
• mkicon — create a .ico file from one or more .png files
• paste — copy text from the clipboard to a file
• pbkdf2 — hash a password using the PBKDF2 algorithm
• pwgen — generate a random password using various encoding strategies
• respeel — extract .ico and other resources from .dll and .exe files
• sudo — runs a program in a UAC-elevated command prompt window
• wrap — hard-wrap a text file
• jvf — validates JFIF (JPEG) file integrity

THESE TOOLS COME WITH NO WARRANTY, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Microsoft .NET Framework 4 SDK

Use MSBuild. The project file is build.msproj. The default target is Build, which will build all of the tools.

There are two MSBuild properties that you can override:

• /p:OutDir — where the built .exe files are placed [default: .\bin]
• /p:BuildDir — where temporary build files are placed [deafult: .\obj]

An additional target /t:Clean may be invoked to remove $(OutDir) and $(BuildDir).

If you like these tools and use them and find an issue you'd like me to consider fixing, please create an issue using GitHub.

Pull requests for bug fixes and other improvements gratefully accepted.
