A simple CLI for converting between bytes, kilobytes, megabytes, etc. Can you just Google it? Yes. Is leaving terminal for newbs? Maybe.
gem install byteme
byteme <input value> <input format>
If no input format is specified, Bytes is assumed.
You can pass the -r or --round flag to print output as rounded floats instead of in scientific notation.
Input/Output format can be any value from the left-hand column:
