+**unixize** is a small tool to bulk rename files into a cool UNIX-friendly
+standard. Basically, everything becomes lowercase and there is no need to
+escape characters anymore when entering your filenames in a terminal. It
+also removes unicode characters.
+
+**unixize** is configurable through options. Refer to
+
+ man unixize
+
+to get a list of options.

+
+# Installation
+
+You can get **unixize** either through `git` or `fossil`.
+
+For `fossil` use:
+
+ mkdir unixize
+ cd unixize
+ fossil clone https://chiselapp.com/user/JozanLeClerc/repository/unixize unixize.fossil
+ fossil open --force unixize.fossil
+
+or for `git`:
+
+ git clone git://jozanleclerc.xyz/jozan/unixize.git
+ cd unixize
+
+Then build the program:
+
+ make
+ sudo make install clean
+
+Note that on BSD systems you want to use `gmake` instead of `make`:
+
+ gmake
+ sudo gmake install clean
+
+

+
+# Usage
+
+**USE WITH CAUTION**.
+
+Without the `-p` option, **unixize** will commit to do exactly
+what it's supposed to do, rename all the badly formatted in the chosen
+directory. To deunixize your files, you'll have to rename everything
+manually.
+
+ cd messy_directory
+ unixize -v -r .

+
+# End note
+
+Please note that unixize was tested only on FreeBSD at the moment.
+Linux and macOS tests are coming soon. You can report bug on
+[GitHub](https://github.com/JozanLeClerc/unixize.git).
+
+Thanks for checking **unixize**.
