Recursively batch process files with pngquant

Question

I have a lot of images that I would like to process with pngquant. They are organized in a pretty deep directory structure, so it is very time-consuming to manually cd

Answer 1

With the fish shell you can run the following from the root of your project directory

pngquant **.png

Which will generate new files with extensions like -or8.png or -fs8.png.

If you want to overwrite the existing files, you can use

pngquant **.png --ext .png --force
