[SOLVED] Is there a way to format a bash file to become a one liner?

Issue

I have a bash file that is pretty long, and I don't want to spend hours painstakingly going through and making it a one liner. Is there some online tool or command I can use to make my file into a one liner?

I already tried looking for beautifiers and formatters, but none do what I need it to, and I even searched on here for about an hour and all I could find was stuff about how to make a one liner not how to convert my entire file into a one liner.

Solution

This is a horrible idea. Do not do it.

That said, if you define the following function:

onelineify() {
  script_content=$(gzip -9 <"$1" | base64 -w0)
  printf '%s\n' '#!/usr/bin/env bash'
  printf 'eval "$(base64 -d <<<%q | gunzip -c)"\n' "$script_content"
}

onelineify yourscript will write a version of your script that is only one line (beyond the shebang) to stdout.
