+# djl-utils
+
+*nix-style utilities
+
+## Goals
+
+* A collection of simple, well-documented CLI tools that follow *nix conventions
+* Minimal external dependencies, statically compilable
+* Standalone applications -- if only one tool is required the source code for
+  that tool alone need be distributed.
+
+**NOTICE** (2021-04-24): The project is still at a very early stage and these
+goals have not yet been achieved, as they were not the *original* goals of the
+project (eg. compilation/build process currently produces a .deb file)
+
+## Tools
+
+* **confirm**: Prompt user for confirmation and report response via exit code
+* **countdown**: Start a countdown timer
+* **gut**: Wrap/simplify common `git` actions
+* **line**: Extract line(s) from stdin
+* **pasta**: Simple ssh-based pastebin
+* **sign**: Generate signature for current user
+* **stopwatch**: Start a stopwatch timer
+* **suptime**: System uptime in terms of seconds, minutes, hours or days
+* **timestamp**: Current date-timestamps in common formats
+* **truthy**: Test if input is true-adjacent
