Review this script before executing in your terminal.
rwx is a file permissions manager for inspecting and changing Unix file permissions and ownership flags directly inside of the terminal.
It includes a TUI file browser which can find and select files which the user can navigate into any directory in the filesystem to configure file permissions. rwx has a permissions grid that can set a file / folder to read (r), write (w) and execute (x) visually with check-boxes and can show the equivalent octal and symbolic permissions status.
Applying new permission changes to any file gives a "pending changes" warning before you save with the new ownership flags. This tool can apply permission changes in recursive mode which updates multiple files in a directory with symbolic previews which is the equivalent of running "chown -R" permissions.
Users such as developers, system administrators, DevOps specialists or terminal enthusiasts may find rwx very useful for quickly changing and auditing file permissions and ownership flags without remembering extra commands or specific octal numbers.
