Rename files and directories by transforming their basename - thingsiplay/nameplate

I ( @thingsiplay@beehaw.org ) wrote some niche commandline Python script to rename filenames. I know there are many tools to do this already. It’s in the vein of something like Perl rename command. Maybe someone is interested, I don’t know.

name --append "_v2" -- *.py

name --glob --replace " (*" -- *.sfc

Manual installation only:

git clone https://github.com/thingsiplay/nameplate
cd nameplate
mv name.py name
# The path below is just a suggestion. This depends on your system.
install --verbose -t ~/.local/bin/ name

BTW, use option -n (--dry-run) to test commands without applying any changes on the filesystem. The README got some more examples.
