Get Current Path

To get the current path:

pwd

To convert .HEIC files to .JPG files, use the heif-convert tool:

Install the package:
```
sudo apt install libheif-examples
```
Convert all .HEIC files in the current directory to .JPG while keeping the original names:
```
for i in *.HEIC; do heif-convert "$i" "${i%.HEIC}.jpg"; done
```

To delete all files with a certain name or extension:

find . -name '*.json' -exec rm {} \;

To move all .mp4 files to a specific folder:

mv *.mp4 /home/lukas/Documents/Pictures/Handy/Galaxy/Google/Fotos/Photos/from/2023/Videos

To extract single images from videos using ffmpeg:

ffmpeg -i inputfile.avi -r 1 -f image2 image-%03d.jpeg

-r 1: Extracts 1 image per second of the video. Replace this number to adjust the number of images per second.
-f image2: Forces the output format to images. This can often be omitted as ffmpeg tries to select the format based on the file extension.
image-%03d.jpeg: Specifies the output file name pattern. %03d means the images will be numbered with three digits, padded with zeroes (e.g., image-001.jpeg).

To find disk hogs, including hidden files, use the following command:

du -sch .[!.]* * | sort -h

du -sch: Displays disk usage for each file and directory in human-readable format.
.[!.]*: Matches hidden files and directories in the current directory, excluding . (current directory) and .. (parent directory).
*: Matches all non-hidden files and directories in the current directory.
sort -h: Sorts the output in human-readable format (e.g., 1K, 234M, 2G).

This command helps you identify large files and directories, including hidden ones like /home/myAccount/.local/share/Trash.
