sanitize
sanitize can be used to remove sensitive information from data.
configuration
sanitize will apply a series of sed edits (defined by configuration files in ~/.config/sanitize) to the stdin data provided to the script.
A few examples of the configuration files can be found in src/etc/.
The edits will be applied in sorted order so it is recommended to start the file names with numbers in the order you want the edits to be applied.
usage
The main use case for sanitize is to provide an easy way to clean log files before sharing them, e.g.
cat /path/to/my/file | sanitize > ~/log-to-be-uploaded.txt
installation
The script can be installed directly from GitHub, e.g.
sudo curl -sS https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fontivan/sanitize/main/src/bin/sanitize -o /usr/local/bin/sanitize
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/sanitize
