Compressit¶ ↑

Compressit provides a simple way to compress your project .css and .js files to not only reduce their size, but also reduce web requests improving the overall performance of your site.

Features¶ ↑

Command Line Input (CLI)
Reduce filesize of all css/js files
Reduces number of necissary requests to servers for assets
Support for single or multiple file compression

Install¶ ↑

Rails (discontinued support)¶ ↑

NOTE: This will still work with Rails, however I have discontinued a specific rails ‘integration’ due to a very similar feature being added with the release of Rails 3.1

Add this line to your Gemfile:

gem 'compressit'

Then do a bundle install:

bundle install

Non Rails¶ ↑

gem install compressit

Usage¶ ↑

Usage: compressit -command [FILE/DIR]

-h, --help 					Display this help
-v, --version 				Display current gem version
-f, --file FILE 			Compress FILE in place
-F, --files DIR 			Compress files from DIR into DIR/compressed

TODO¶ ↑

May add a better versioning system
Initially had the ability to specify a destination folder, may add this back if requested
Tests
[X]One final pass of cleanup and refactoring
Implement the ability to skip files in the compression process
It would be awesome if it could replace all your current css/js calls with itself so you didn’t have to (we’ll see about this)
