Script to easily run multiple queries for types of files and dump them to a simplified JSON string.

Requires jq installed, if on MacOS with Homebrew just brew install jq before running.

I use this file as a function for Zsh but it works just as well as a standalone script. You don't need the .zsh in the filename I just have it here so the Gist gets the right syntax coloring.

brew install jq
chmod +x gogodoots
./gogodoots .vimrc >>! vimrcdoots.lst
