title: change all .md to .markdown updated: 2015-11-01 10:26:04 description: Rename file extensions for all files in a given directory. os: [macosx, linux] tags: [bash] deps: [] contributors: ["http://www.github.com/anschwa"]
We no longer live in a 8.3 world, so we should be using the most descriptive file extensions. It’s sad that all our operating systems rely on this stupid convention instead of the better creator code or a metadata model, but great that they now support longer file extensions.
